Password protected iWeb sites

Hi.

I want to know how to make websites password protected on iWeb. However, I do not have, nor want to invest in MobileMe, so is there any FREE service that does this. Thank you!

I would prefer that it doesn't use FTP. Perhaps, something else? Sorry for the trouble. 🙂

To password protect a site, folder or page when using a server other than MobileMe you need to either enable this in your control panel or do it using a .htaccess file.

The server side script is the most secure way to do it. There are javascripts that you can use but they are less secure.....

Doing it via the control panel is easier but, if you want to go the htaccess route, you can generate it online here....
