[QUOTE="adamherb, post: 152387"] I want to host a website with standard websharing that is in OS X. I have heard that there are some ways that are out there that are easy to bypass. I dont want that, and I want to be sure that nobody can get to it. I understand that it is never going to be toatally secure. I want to use the .htaccess type password folder securing so that the websites that i put in that folder are password protected. If i just stick the files that i want to share in that folder, and then put links on one of the pages to it, then will it be secure. I think that when someone wants to access that file that it will just ask for the password. Is there a way that i can make it so that the files can be viewed remotely, and that i dont have to put a link to every file. 1. What i want to know, is if .htaccess is secure, and not bypassable. 2. If i put one of the .html files into the folder, and then link to it, will my server just ask for the password. 3. Is there a way that the remote person can see the files that i have in the folder? Thank you for any reading this long post. [/QUOTE]
