Password Protected Folders

It is question and answer time. This time around I got an E-mail from Jeffery who wants to know why his password protected folder is not working.

Here is what he had to say.

I love your netcast show and hope I might be able to ask you a question to help resolve a problem I have been hitting lately. I make a small website for my nursing class and have been getting really frustrated trying to get passwords on folders to work with my host, GoDaddy.

He goes on a describes what he has done thus far, and after looking through his E-mail I can not really see where he might be messing the process up. Now for those of you who might want to manually check up on how to do this, I have found a good link giving you the basics here:

+ How To Create a Password Protected Directory

Now since GoDaddy kind of has a heavy hand with these types of services on the hosting accounts, it might try some trial and tribulation to figure things out. Another thing you might check is to see if there is a way to go this via the control panel they provide to you. Since they use their own “GoDaddy” flavored control panel it has been a while since I checked it out, so I am not that familiar with it.

I also ran across this note from GoDaddy themselves – although not sure if it will deliver you what you need.

Last but not least, you could always go with a more “password protected folder” friendly hosting provider. I am surprised the support team wouldn’t at least point you in the right direction on how to do this – that is pretty crummy indeed.

I know I didn’t give you an exact answer but I really do hope this helps!

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

    Hi, I’m a professional pianist and I’ve made a stupid rule that allows me to take a 15 min break every 1 hour of practicing. Now, each break I’ve to do some thing completely distinct, so mostly I go to Google and seek for that suggested last hour website. It’s fun to perform something various and to understand about new points every and each and every day. BTW, now I’m playing. HandelHaydn. Your web site is excellent, I wish I could remain longer, but I have to get back to play… Subsequent time I’ll appear to visit again.

    This is getting a bit far more subjective, but I significantly choose the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has much more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you rapidly see connected albums, songs, or other users associated to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one particular of those will center on that item, and an additional set of “neighbors” will occur into view, allowing you to navigate close to exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” can be great enjoyable, letting you discover others with shared tastes and becoming close friends with them.

    I have to say, as much as I loved reading what you had to convey, I couldnt help but lose attention after a while. It’s as if you had a fantastic grasp on the issue, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you need to think about this from more than 1 perspective. Or perhaps you shouldn’t generalise so much. It’s better if you take into consideration what other people might have to express rather than just going for a gut reaction on the subject. Think of modifying your own notion procedure and giving other people who might read this the benefit of the doubt.
