What can I do to protect the front end of fileman.cgi? (ex - how do i keep someone from typing the url to fileman.) If they figure out the url, i'm dorked. delete rename, full power of fileman (eek, that's a lot of power!!! Good work GT developers!).

Does anyone have any ideas? I don't think .htaccess would work for this case, but I may be mistaken. Also, I am testing on a server using cgiwrap, but will probably end up with it on a non-cgiwrap server. The path setup by Apache will probably be someting like this:

/home/http/www/*my_netfiles*
/home/http/cgi-bin/*my_scripts*

Thanks

1) Create a USER database.
2) Then apply the PASSWORD PROTECTION codes for LINKS 2.0 that are found in the Resource section of this site...check authentication based on username and password in the USER database.

This sounds promising. I am unfamiliar with the creating a USER database. Also, Links 2.0? I looked around in the resources area, but could not find anything that looked very similar to what you mentioned. I'm sorry I'm afraid I am a newbie on this site and don't understand what's up yet. Are you possibly suggesting that I also use DBMan? Thanks for the help.

No...I am saying that you can use LINKS 2.0 PASSWORD PROTECTION MODS...there are may of them...

SEARCH the Resources section for password and you will find a lot of Mods.

Also, if you search for password protection in the Links 2.0... Forums, you will find references to various PASSWORD PROTECTION MODS that you could possibly use with Fileman.

Bye...
