FTP Setup
We currently have disabled our anonymouns
FTP server because of security reasons. If you
need an anonymous FTP server for file uploads,
please let
us know
and we will install a PERL script for you at no
charge for file uploads from your web site.
Password
Protected Web Directory
We
no longer provide or support the script we issued for
directory password protection. We removed it due to
security flaws in the program, and the program was not
very compatible with our new software environment.
Setting up password protection in a directory is not
as hard as it sounds. Simply, create file called
".htaccess" in the directory that you wish to protect.
Add the following text to the ".htaccess" file:
AuthUserFile
/home/userid/www/directory/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Put Site Name Here"
AuthType Basic
AuthPAM_enabled off
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
Next,
telnet into your account, and enter the directory that
you just loaded the .htaccess file into. Type the
following command to create the actual password file:
htpasswd -c .htpasswd newuser (replace
newuser with the actual username that you want
to give access to.) You will be prompted for the new
password. The directory is now password protected, and
one user now has access to it.
To add additional users, simply enter the same
directory, and enter the following command:
htpasswd .htpasswd newuser (same as above
without the -c flag.)

Page
A
file already exists in the www directory of your
server. It's called missing.html. You can edit it to
your liking, or create your own. As long as it's
called missing.html and it's in your root www
directory, the server will display it whenever someone
tries to access a page on your domain that does not
exist.
