Does godaddy have a control panel that would allow you to set that up?
Frontpage is generally not the optimal tool for interfacing with Linux
based webservers.

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?
