But just because it opens up in my browser window doesn't mean the file is not on my hard drive. But since your using another method to encrypt the file you should be ok. I mean its not full proof by any means and someone that wants that info will get it but if you're just trying to avoid the casual snooper you should be ok.

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?
