FOAK: Pipex and htpasswd

Knowing there to be some Pipex users here (and a few ex Pipex users),
using their web space: Does anyone know what the correct path in htaccess
to htpasswd should be on pipex dsl space?

Many thanks

Not quite sure what you're after - when I log in it goes straight to my
webspace root directory[1], and there's nothing like the ones you
mentioned.

[1] I may have set this up some time ago though.

 

Thank you, thats won my side bet in the office - that ukrm would reply
quicker, any most likely with more sense, than Pipex

I'm trying to password control an area of Pipex web space, and htaccess
needs to find the htpasswd file, but doesnt seem to (although I may have
done something else dumb somewhere). I'm assuming it needs some 'clever'
path, because none of the simple / obvious ones seem to work.

 

Erm ... htpasswd is the program that creates the username/password
ciphers
so you don't need it on your webspace. You need to point your .htaccess
file at the output of htpasswd.

Try Googling for more info - there's a Windows version of htpasswd or
plenty of online ones you could use.

Excellent, that'll be usual fee of drinks all around then?

You may well have. Now I haven't done this trick in a while but as I
recall it was click on a couple of buttons and type a password in my ftp
client.

Doubt it.

 

Love it

Last time I did it, it was placed in the folder which contained the
documents you wanted to protect.....

The easiest thing is to telnet or ssh into the server, change directory
to the wherever you are keeping your htpasswd-generated password file,
and type "pwd" to get the full pathname to it.

 

Ah, now that was useful - explained that I needed the path as in 'the
server', not as in the root of the web itself (?? well, I _know_ what I
mean, anyway)

 

Good idea - sadly, I couldnt ssh in, and issusing a pwd from inside
ws_ftp produced "/o/(user_name)" which doesnt work. Oh well, maybe I'll be
waiting for Pipex to email. Thanks anyway - its pointed me the right way.
