it?!
I have to use Microsoft Publisher to make my website i don’t have any programms if you can help me to show me another programm to do this please show me.
Answer:
Answer by Michael
Not sure how you can do it with Microsoft Publisher, but most websites you can create what is called a .htaccess file. This file is read by the webserver and restricts (using login passwords) access.
For more information look here:

Also consider asking the company you host with how you can add a .htaccess protection. They should be very familiar with this as it is very common.
Question: HTML question…the “index.html” file…if it were written all in uppercase, would this cause problems?

Question: Is there a way for browsers to ignore “index.html” and look at the URL as a directory?
I have pages I don’t want everyone to see, there are no links to them, but this still seems insecure. For example, the browser pokes around for favicon.ico.

Answer by majdi_asha
u can access pages in two ways:
1)www.domainname.com/pagename.whatever
2)create a subfolder and specify a user with permissions to access it and put the files into it and when u write in the URL www.domainname.com/foldername a window appears with username and password to insert..
u should have some experince in webhosting and dealing with web servers

Question: iweb is telling me that “index.html” already exists on my server…?
I’ve published one website so far from iweb on my computer, and now that I’m going to publish my second its telling me that “index.html” already exists on my server, and that if I replace it, it will overwrite the one on the server…
What do I do? Am I skipping a step, or does this not even make a difference for anything…? Will hitting “replace” mess up the website I first published?
Answer:
Answer by Colanth
You can only have one site on a server, so yes, replacing the first file with the second one will eliminate the first one. If you want a second site you need a second address and a second server, or a file with another name that you point the second name to.
Question: How do I load my index page without having to type “/index.html”?
Actually, I’m using XHTML so the real question is how to load my index page without having to type “/index.xht”? If I don’t type it I get the page that displays “Index of /” and lists all my documents, files, etc.
Answer:
Answer by 0.o Mastermind ^_^’
as far as i know xhtml stil uses the .html or .htm extension. Once it is using one those the server when the url is accessed automatically redirects to the index page. e.g. if your file is located at www.mysite.com/subdir/index.html or index.htm you can just type www.mysite.com/subdir and it will go to the page automatically. Good luck and i hope it helps.
