Password Protecting a Folder on UNIX-based Website

hi..I'm working on a project that requires files to be password
protected on a UNIX based site. The people that own the web site want
to be able to change the password every so often. Unfortunately, I
have restricted access only to FTP so I really can't log in to any kind
of Administrative Console or Admin Panel and see if there are folders
that can be password protected and then have passwords changed on them.
The people I'm contracted to work on the site for aren't the most
computer savvy people though....so..m y question is:
Is there a user friendly way of password protecting a folder on a UNIX
based site? Thanks in advanced for any response.

Could someone please suggest a very lightweight solution for protecting directories on a web server? (membership system) The job is basically this: An administrator, after logging in via the web, should have the ability to add/remove users who then could access their own password protected directories only with their browsers. I know this could be easily done with Zope (I know that) and probably with

Hi all. I have an app that needs to create a folder off the installation folder, this is not a problem. But, I need to password protect this folder so only the application can get access to the data stored there. Of course a user can add a password to a foler, but how can I do this from within my code, then how would I open a file within this password protected folder?

I need to create a page with a password where I show photos. How do I stop people from accessing the jpgs directly without going through the password function. I am using Windows XP and have a website which supports Mysql and php. The end result should be a page where the user can type in a password and access a few pages of thumbnails which can be clicked for enlargements. Garry Jones

Why Password protect an MDB when someone can google and get a hack? Wondering if anyone else has thought of this and just said "oh well"... I plan to password protect an MDB where I have some system/program variables and data. But looking in google, there are plenty of programs a user can download to hack and crack that password.

I wrote a simple VB.NET application that imports and edits CSV files. Now I’d like to “lock” the raw (pre-import) CSV files so these cannot be opened separately. It is not high-sensitive data, I just don’t want folks to peek in the files. So time-consuming encryption is not necessary, just a simple password-to-open that I can program in my application so it internally opens the imported CSV file would be perfect, but I can’t...
