I have a website that is used for agents fo mine to download and view information.

I was wondering if there was a way to pasword protect some of the links on my site and set it to a main password just so my agents can get access to it.

Thanks

Dreamweaver does not provide password protection at this time, however you may be able to protect the page quite nicely with a free script from here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/password.htm

One warning - - this method does not provide true password protection because it does not prevent a user from bookmarking one of the pages behind your password protection page and then returning to it by using the bookmark (bypassing your password protection).

Works good for some applications but not for something that is really sensitive.

You could use an Access Database to restrict access to parts of your site by requiring clients to login with a username and password. You then just use the Log In User server behaviour in Dreamweaver on each page you want to restrict access to.

I can share a useful Dreamweaver tutorial on this if you need it.

hi would love it if you could give me the link to the tutorials on this as i have been trying to find a way to properly password pages within Dreamweaver for ages. Thanks

The trouble is Dreamweaver is a editor for making web pages; truly restricting them by password has to be done with a little help from the server. That means php or asp code, or something along those lines. You might be able to get by with using htaccess to demand a password for a particular folder, but it's better not to show people links you won't let them follow.

You need to add some code on the server side that checks who the user is before a page is sent down to the client. If you don't know who they are, you redirect them to your login page instead. This is called authentication - asking who are you? - and authorization - are you allowed to see this page? You should be able to find tutorials for any web platform on how to do these two things.
