How can I password just 1 page of my website?
I use Dreamweaver MX and Frontpage 2002 - can I do it at all?
:(

Try http://php.warpedweb.net/pageprotect/

I've installed this for some of my customers and it's worked great. Easy to set up too.

if that page is in a (lonely) single directory, use .htaccess - applies only to apache.

I am a little inexperienced with this.

Could you explain briefly how to use the .htaccess please - as I do use Apache.

Thanks in advance :D

look on google.com - there are ALOT of good tutorials. .htaccess is VERY common.

if you want to get secure and technical - you can use a cookie system - but that is overkill probably for what you are doing (too much time on my hands now)

The links still looks a little complicated for a novice like myself, but I will try - thanks for all your help :)

1 more thing, is it possible to secure a page that I've uploaded that is NOT using the Apache hosting software? (ie, simply on the www )- Can it be done using any software? DOS confuses me !

Many thanks to all helpers.
