.htpasswd

[guru]

I am making a website , i need to allot a different directory to every user.
I have heard that in apache , we can do something like .htpasswd authentication, well that can also save me from making tables and using mysql.
I know ASP. Can anyone tell me more on this.
and if possible can u show me the scrap code, which will help me to do this.

Thanks

p.s. i am using windows.

you need to learn php programming, so that its simple for accesing .htapsswords

BTW ASP is not supported in Linux, you need MS Webserver to run ASP !!

i dont think is has got anything to do with PHP dude..

its completely difference concept..

anyways getting back to the topic..


i dont think .htaccess thing work with IIS..it works with Apache only..

so to make directory protection in IIS u need to select security tab in IIS control panel under desired directory and change settings there...

but for all these u need admin access and i doubt anyone will give u access in shared hosting (i am not sure whether control panels will have that option or not..check with your web host)

P.S. btw check this page http://www.htmlite.com/HTA006.php for htaccess code format and sample...or check the link provided by firewall
