You are right, and not only does CCWAM protect a folder, it also writes to your site's .htaccess file (or if there isn't any, it creates one), and that is a much safer way of protecting something than the CCPW.
If you are using the Password Wizzard, people who bookmark a protected page, can go back to it without logging in. With WAM that is not possible.

When I started out with VSD, the web server was empty, and it just generate the default folder on the server, but they where empty.
Then i used FileZilla FTP and I took the direct strukture under the folder which hold the project made in VSD.

Later on when i try to upload the files from whitin the VSD it does'nt overwrite the existing files on the server with the edited files from my PC.

I have deleted the VSD, downloaded again and installed, it still won't upload in a decent way.

Hi Inger Eik
Thanks for your reply, does it cover these lines in my previus writing

Would that be easier to use CCWAM than CCWP, because i think it's a very tricky construction I am on. Do I have to do anything with HTML code or flash etc. or is it just full speed ahead.?
I have checked the server facilities where I host my site. They are running a Debian on a Apache with PHP 5 , support for html 5 and Mysql. That should do the trick for CCWAM. But what do I need on my PC, I'm running win 7 Ultimate.
If I can make this work for me, whitout needing the constant help, which I appreciate . I'm going to bye VSD and CCWAM. Is this a good combination or should I do something different.


Or is there anything I should know before the decision to buy the above mentioned program. Althoug I have trouble uploading directly from VSD.

I don't use VSD, so I can't advise you on that. I use the HTML Editor in combination with WAM, and that works well. I think VSD would work too, though.

You shouldn't need anything else for the password protection, your server and PC requirements are ok.

In case you buy WAM I would advise you to put all the stuff you want to protect into a folder. You actually need two 'sites', one outside that folder, and one inside. Make sure that the file with the log-in is OUTSIDE the protected folder.

Hi Inger
Just to clarify
I attach a schematic setup of my homepage to be.
I have framed in the area/folder I want to protect, because it contains personal informations about living members of my family. I only want members of my family to be able to see this information.
So they have to kontakt me for user name and a password.

Can we call everything outside the protected folder for site 1 and in the protected folder site 2
If that is the case, I am on the right track.

Try it with mine. I bookmarked my protected page and it forced me back to the login.

I was not able to see the page structure, it was too small for my old eyes

But yes, you can call the sites as you suggest, or 'inside' and 'outside' or whichever name that lets you keep one from the other. and the login page has to be in the 'site1' or 'outside'.

Yeah, that is clever, with the replace script. It must have been invented after I abandoned PW as unsafe...

To Inger Eik.
That small picture was the result of the demand for no more than100K, sorry.
But you answered in a way that I understand.

To Eric
I will try the WAM together with VSD, if it works i'll bye them. Unless anyone tells me it's a bad combination.

To both Eric and Inger
I admire the help you are producing to this community beside your daily job, and espacially to someone like me, a complete rookie, with no skills in website's.

I hope that CoffeeCup appreciate the work you guys are doing. Your commitment is more than all the advertising money can bye. Because of you and probably the rest of the advisors in this community, I feel the need to give the product a chance, not that sommething is wrong with the product, but it match the skills I have in using them.

I will let you know if it do the trick for me.
Peter

Peter you'll appreciate WAM. It opens a lot of options for dealing with protected content.
