htpasswd

I created a passwd file on apache2 win xp and then transferred the file to a
unix server since I dont have telnet access to do it directly. But I keep
getting a 401 error code when I try to log in. Do the win versions of
htpasswd use a different hashing algorithm than the unix version? Is that
possibly why my possword doesnt seem to be working?

thnx

This is possible, since the programs uses the crypt library on the
system.

hmm, then since I don't have telnet access, should I just try to create it
by using a php file with a system command, will this end up with correct
permissions and such?

?? how do you manage other things on that server if you don't have
telnet or ssh access?

I wonder if it will work. I'd ask the hosting provider.

ha, funny you should ask

ftp, plesk and phpmyadmin

ps, I did not pick this server, it is slow and kinda hard to work with
without telnet for something's. Although it is my 1st time using plesk and
I haven't decided if I like using it yet or not.

I can't even view any ".ht" files from ftp so if I forget what directory I
placed one in, I may never find it again.
Anyway, I'm going to try to create 1 through php, and if that doesn't work,
I'll just put some error 401 code in each document and do it that way.


thnx anyways

re: htpasswd

The .htpassword files created on Windoze do work. Make sure you FTP them in
ASCII mode. (the default is binary).
