HTML Password Lock can work with Serif Webplus. The only problem is that you cannot use the Webplus built-in "Publish site to web" function to publish the locked files to the web server. You'll need to upload the locked files with a stand-alone FTP client software on your own, such as the free FTP client software FileZilla at http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/.

Follow the steps below and you will be able to password protect pages designed with Serif Webplus.

Step 1:

Use Serif Webplus to create the web pages, including the pages you want protect. Then publish the website to a local folder with the menu "File" -> "Publish site" -> "To Disk Folder".

Step 2:

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

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 one 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, and click on the "Yes" button .

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

Step 3:

Now that the HTML file(s) with the original name have been locked, backup copies are saved as *.PreLock at the same directory.

Upload the locked file(s) to your web server with an FTP client software of your own, such as the free FTP client software FileZilla at http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/
