A. Create a directory under your cgi-bin called "password"
Chmod is not necessay on Windows NT.
Place all files you want to protect in this directory.
To add a user to your system, call the adduser.pl with your browser. That is, type the URL of the adduser.pl in the "location" line of whatever browser you are using.
Enter a user name and password for that user. This writes their user name and password to the 'user.log'.
Place all the files you want to protect in the "htmfiles" folder.
In the passwd-conf.pl, you will tell the program what file you want the user to see when they first login. (the default file) You must use this page as your 1st page after login.
To protect the web address of other files, you will need to link them "through" the login.pl.
This is done with ``arguments" in the link to the login.pl. the first ``argument" would be just after the question mark -> login.pl?999 - in this case the 1st argument is ``999"
999 is used for all ASCII files, htm, html, asp, txt, etc.
990 is used for all downloadable files, zip, exe, and PDF files.
The file names are case sensitive, use all lower case names.
Do Not use the extention on the link to the protected files. The program will detect the extention and add it for you.
No one ever sees the URL to the pages, they will only see the URL of the login.pl.
I have supplied 5 pages for you to test with. They are in the folder "htmfiles". Use these files to get the program running on your server. Then replace them with your files.
# The path to the files is very important for the program to function.
# Enter the web address for your login page.
