protect a folder with a password - El Forum - 03-29-2011

Hello,
I need to manage a "private area" with codeigniter
Visitors with a (fixed) password can access this area and download files inside a folder
The server is windows with iis and I cannot use .htaccess file
any idea how can I manage this private area?
Thanks
.Stefano

Hi Tud,
I don't use Window but I think the solution is to save the files on your database.
I think you can just right click on the directory in Explorer and change the permissions. Your user will get a login screen when trying to access the folder, just give them the user and password.
I hope that helps =]

Do as we said, set a username and password on your folder, I think you'll do that on IIS Explorer
When a user try to access it, a window will popup asking for username and password.

The problem is I cannot access/configure IIS because it's on a shared server provider.
