My website needs a password protected download area. I’ve achieved this by created a sub folder and assigned a password protection script that my hosting company offer.
The problem is Freeway has moved graphics used on the ‘/protected/downloads.html’ page to the ‘resources’ folder of the password protected sub directory and updated the HTML of all parent directory HTML files to access this ‘protected’ folder. Therefore when someone loads the homepage/index.html the browser tries to load graphics from the resources folder of the protected directory and therefore asks for a password.
I want graphics to stay in the parent level ‘resources’ folder and be accessed from there.
There’s a couple of things you could try. The easiest of these is as follows: Make a new Freeway document with just the “protected” pages in it. In the Document Setup dialog, make sure that it publishes into the protected folder – that’s its “root” folder, and it won’t ever try to move any of its content outside of that level. Make all of your download links within that document, since everything in it will require the password to see.
Then back in your main document, delete the protected folder and all pages within it. If you get an alert that you are removing links to pages, accept the default option in that dialog to replace them with links.
Now, when you click on a link to that folder or a page or file within it, you should be prompted for your password. But the rest of the site will no longer try to put its files inside the protected folder, since it won’t know that it exists.
