Hi

Ive deleted the index file in my webfolder so im not redirected to the bubba web interface, i can then put out files on my "web page" for others to download.
Anyway is there any way i can add a folder in there that is only accessible through a password and username?
Optionally make a user acc and password on the whole webpage?

You can use one of Apaches built in functions for password protecting files and directories using .htaccess & .htpasswd.

A simple how to can be found here http://weavervsworld.com/docs/other/passprotect.html, but there are many others available, just search for .htpasswd

I've used this on other websites, but never on BUBBA, but there's no reason it should not work.
