Does anyone know of a security program that allows me to restrict access to a certain part of my website. I had been using a program called Login V6.2 that ran on windows, allowed me to create new users and it encrypted a password for each user. I then transfer the login file to my ISP's Linux webserver. This was a members only section of the my website. When a user logged in thru a HTML form it checked the password and allowed them on. (It was a Javascript on the server)
I lost the windows program when windows died and my backup was no good. The company appears to be out of business or all links I find to the website and email time out. Its still working on the server but I cannot add or remove users.
Any ideas would be helpful. I do have mysql and PHP available on the server and thought about trying to create something there.
As has been suggested, creating .htaccess files by hand is pretty straighforward, but if you want a program to do it for you, the two I know about are HTEdit and WebPassword, both of which work well.
Google should track them down for you.
