Working with NetObjects Fusion is very easy and is remarkablly similar to working with Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft FrontPage. Follow the steps below and you will be able to password protect the page designed with NetObjects Fusion.

Step 1:

Use NetObjects Fusion to create the HTML web pages, including those you need to protect.

Step 2:

Publish the site to "Local" folder with the "Publish Site" tool button.

Step 3:

You will need to know the path where the site has been published locally on your computer, then you can use HTML Password Lock to password protect the HTML file(s).

Launch HTML Password Lock.

In Step 1, click on the "Add file" button, browse to the folder where the site has been saved locally on your computer, select the HTML file(s) you want to protect, and add each to the file list.

In Step 2, define username and password. If this is the first time you use the software, you can click on the "Next" button to skip Steps 3 and 4, keeping the default options.

In the Last Step, click on the "Lock" button. The locked file will be listed on the file list.

Select the file on the file list, double-click it or click on the "Test" button, open it with your web browser and test the password protection. If you open the file with Internet Explorer, click on the yellow alert bar on top of the web page, select "Allow Blocked Content" in the popup window, click on the "Yes" button.

For a detailed description of this step, please refer to Quick Start.

Step 4:

Now that the HTML file(s) in the local folder have been locked, you should upload the locked file to your web server with your preferred FTP client software, such as the free FTP client software FileZilla at http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ .

Please do NOT publish the site using NetObjects Fusion's "Publish to Remote" function. If you do, NetObjects Fusion will overwrite the Locked HTML file on the web server.
