Questions:
  1. How do I *remove* password protection from my web directories?
  2. Small question: if I protect a directory and a user does not know the user-id/password the 'system' displays a page that says: AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED, etc. Can I change that text? In other words: is it an HTML-page somewhere in my directories which I can replace with my own text?
  3. Can I customize the page that is viewed when a visitor does not enter the correct user name or password, for password protected directory. For example, I would like to display a page that would ask a person to register and view a page with a user name and password on the page. Can I do this, and if so, how?
  4. I would like to use .htaccess and .htpasswd to password protect my directories without having to use the password protect directories feature in the online control center. What do I need to do to encrypt the passwords?
  5. How do I Password Protect one of my directories ?
Answers:
  1. How do I *remove* password protection from my web directories?
    Simply load up the protected directory, and then remove all users :)
  2. Small question: if I protect a directory and a user does not know the user-id/password the 'system' displays a page that says: AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED, etc. Can I change that text? In other words: is it an HTML-page somewhere in my directories which I can replace with my own text?
    NO, you cannot change that... that is built into the system itself :)

For example, I would like to display a page that would ask a person to register and view a page with a user name and password on the page. Can I do this, and if so, how?
    No, unfortunately, the only way you COULD do this, is if you wrote an entire PROGRAM to do just this.
    Our built in Password Protection feature will not do this :)
  4. I would like to use .htaccess and .htpasswd to password protect my directories without having to use the password protect directories feature in the online control center. What do I need to do to encrypt the passwords?
    We don't provide this as an option.
    If you still wanted to do it,
    1.
    You would need to have SSH access
    and
    2.
    You would need to know how to use it in the first place :)
  5. How do I Password Protect one of my directories ?
    You would use the Protect Directories feature in the online control panel :)
