| i think .htaccess is the easiest way, if you're using apache-hosting
that is. there are tons of sites where they have info on that one. i
think it would be rather useless to make a complete login-system for a
few pages / folders....
..htaccess actually works pretty simple...

| Thanks for the information.
htaccess is working now (almost)
where can I add the user ? The website is running at a provider so i don't
have access to everything.

here's a tool you can use to make the .htaccess and password files for you:
http://tools.priorweb.be/protected-pages/
it's all in dutch, so here's a small translation:
htaccess:
- title
- website directory (the directory of your site, without the http://)
- username on the system
htpasswd-file:
-user 1:
-password1:
- user2:
......
generate-button
this gives you two textfields, first one you put in a textfile and
upload to the directory you want to 'secure'. after you uploaded the
file, you change the name to '.htaccess' (better to it afterwards, some
ftp-clients have problems with uploading these buggers)
the second textfield (htpassword) you copy/paste in another textfile and
uploade it too (the same directory as the htaccess file)
you name this one '.htpasswd'
after this, you'll be 'prompted' to give a username / password to enter
that specific directory.
the password is here encrypted with md5...so it should be 'safe' for
basic things...
good luck,
thomas
