Notes: Password-Protected Folders
You will likely have some data on your web site that everyone in the world shouldn't be able to view.  It's very important to be able to safeguard this data, so OxONet provides password-protection capabilities on all web accounts.  Anyone who tries to access a protected area of your web site will be required to present an acceptable user name and password before being allowed to proceed.

Users of Microsoft FrontPage will find that password protecting their sites is simple.  To do this, open the Permissions of the web your want to protect, and select "Only registered users have browse access."  Then, create accounts for all your users in the Permissions dialog.

Users who prefer to use traditional methods of maintaining their sites will need to use Apache .htaccess files to restrict access to their sites.  Information on how to use these files may be found in the Apache documentation, or by e-mailing OxONet support.
