If you're looking for a hack which allows you to use vb usernames + p***words for htaccess files: I think it's possible, and think it was made for 3.0.x. However, afaik there is no hack for 3.5 like this.

Just google ".htaccess protection" or something and you'll find the code for a simple p***word form, incase you don't have cpanel.

Google it next time ;).

Quote:

Require p***words to enter a certain area
Here is the .htaccess code to require p***words:

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/user/.htp***wd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Members Area"
require valid-user
You'll probably need some type of script to manage the actual p***word list,
unless you only want one person to be able to enter, such as an admin page.

Just google .htp***wd to find a name/p*** generator.

edit: all the *** need to be replaced by a.ss without the dot.

hmmm tnx dude for the answer and well it will worx but i am a real newbie in htaccess.

i allway made this with the cpanel but my new host uses confixx

i think your code will uses a p-a-s-s-l-i-s-t, or does it take the members from my database?

'cause i just want to give some usergroups access to the folder and files...

is this possible? sorry for my dumb question

tnx again for helping

What a basic htaccess does is simply add one username/password to the area. So just add a new password and mass PM the usergroups with the name and password for the area, and repeat that every month or so.

that is bad

is there no way to protect the files in a folder from unregistered users on the server?

something like hotlinking

tnx man for the nice support but it seems i have no luck

Because I run a forum at a non-payed host to,
and withouth cpanel I don't really know how it's done.

Just google ".htaccess howto" and ".htpasswd howto" and you'll find what you need.
