Hello, I am trying to set up a password protected website for my son who is overseas in the military so that we can post pictures, home movies and news from home for him. I'm using comcast.net personal web page (PWP) to set up the site. However, after contacting comcast tech support several times, they have been absolutely no help in trying to password protect the website. I finally got out of them that the web servers were Apache so I figured I could use the .htaccess and .htpasswd files to protect the site. Even though I've created an .htaccess file and successfully uploaded it into the directory that I want protected (and when I visit the site it now prompts for a username and password) for some reason I cannot implement the htpasswd command to add the .htpasswd file. Every time I initiate the command I receive an error stating "Command Not Implemented". To run the command I've been using gftp's "send site command" option. The tech support people at Comcast have absolutely no idea how to accomplish the password protection of the site so they have been no help at all. If I remember right, their old PWP site builder file manager used to have the option of password protecting your site or a specific directory but that is no longer available with the new PWP site builder. Any help would be greatly appreciated with this. Thank you in advance!
