Login and passwords for a single directory

[cerq]

Is there some why to have an open site (for anyone to enter and use),and have a dircetory that needs a user ID and they password.
Right now I've got a good uploader working but had to put then ( General-Text-Photos-Misc.
These all work, the user can uploda and then view the file or files and download then to their own hard drive.
Now I want to setup passwords. I've gone thur so many scripts and none will work with abyss.

Can you have an open area and closed area within Abyss ?

yes If you open the Abyss consol and click configure on the site you want (if you have more then one) Now click Users and Groups and make one user to start with for yourself. If you want to password protect more then one area and you want different people to access different areas then I would recommend using groups if not you don't have to use groups. Once done go ack to the main screen for that site and click Access control then click add. In the browse box select the directory you want to protect (I think you can password protect a file as well but I have not tried yet.) Once you have selected a place in the realm box type index.htm (I am not to sure what this is but it works if I put index.htm maybe use the type of files you use? index.php, .asp etc)

next select the users you want to allow and the users you want to bock. When finished click ok. You will be prompted to restart Abyss simply click it. Once restarted any access to that folder it will come up with a password prompt. You can add new users at any time in users and groups but also make sure you add the users to the allow list on the website, to edit anything you click the little pencil sign.

If you want to see an example I have password protected a directory on my site like this www.dogmad.co.uk/main however you only have friday to see this.

cerq,

Do you need to update the login/passwords list dynamically?
