Hi,

I have a file uploader that only i want to use e.g. http://www.mysite.com/files/upload.php but i want there to be a password protection so a password protection so no one else can use it.

Something either like a php script to insert into my uploader script before i can upload something or a webpage that if the password is correct takes that page to the uploader.

but if i host an image or something on another site e.g http://www.mysite.com/files/image.jpg i still want them to be able to view it on a site or forum and be able to view in its own but not be able to go to http://www.mysite.com/files/upload.php without entering a password

You need Dudeking
oh Eddie
where are you ???

Why not use .htaccess and .htpasswd on the folder that holds the page you want to protect from others seeing

[dudeking]

Forget htaccess lol it will block your images as well if you don't do it properly.

Go for somthing like this...errrr..

PHP Code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
     $password = 'yourpassword';
     if($password == $_POST['typedpassword']){
    //add upload script here
     }else{
    echo 'wrong password';
    }
}else{
   echo'<form action="thispage.php" method="post">
<input type="password" name="typedpassword" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" />
</form>';
}
?>

Not tested it but thats the basic idea

You can more than likely find this by googling, which can give you many different types of password protecting codes.

Good luck iTouch

Have you managed this mate? Just modifi the script and add that in, its better than .htaccess beacuse you have everything in one place. Also with most scripts you find on google will be javascript...which can be hacked in less than a second.

Ah, didn't know that dudeking, thanks for letting me know!! Go with what dudeking says, he knows what he's talking about.

[dudeking]

Yeah, simple one user hard coded PHP passwords in my opinion are about the hardest to hack. Once they get any more complicated with databases and things and multiple users things like SQL injection can be used to hack them and with simple javascript ones, they can usually be hacked just by reading the source code.

For added protection you could rar all your files and set a password when you compress them.
