Well, from time to time I need to share sensitive financial information from a spread sheet. I currently encrypt the file with blowfish, but then it has to be downloaded, opened, and run. It would make things a lot easier, and more secure, if I could just have a password protected to folder to put the excel file in where it opened on line and was not on somebodies hard drive.
I checked with Godaddy, the hosting company, and they told me that they do support .htaccess ,so I am trying to set up a password protected folder, but it isn't working.
My site has FP extensions. I have created the .htaccess file using this tool http://www.tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/ and put it in new folder <secure>. I have then put the .htpasswd file in the _private folder.
Anything I put into the folder should be protected by the user name and password but that isn't happening. I am not seeing the log in box at all .... no security.
Anybody know what I am doing wrong?
