    If there is only gonna be one user then you can use a simple ASP page to do it...

    If there are gonna be multiple users then you will need to create a database and have a login/logout page using the scriping language you are gonna use.

    Are you scripting in ASP? or php etc? if your scripting in ASP ill give you the code i use.

    Link the login to a seperate database which contains the username and password and have a file "admin-security.asp" say, check the login details versus the one stored in the DB and then if the details match, redirect to a seperate script i.e. "vaild.asp" which will build the pages and links etc from the DB.

    Also to make it a little more secure, have an auto logout when there is no activity by creating another script like:
    <%
    RESPONSE.BUFFER = TRUE
    If Len(Session("pass"))=0 then Response.Redirect("secureDB.htm")
    %>

    ..and whatever this file is called, then "include" it in every page you want secured.

    <!-- #include file="data_security.asp" -->


    You could just use a Java based script, they are pretty secure now but if this is serious work then stay clear.
    Hope i have helped.

    Have a look on Hotscripts under the relevant scripting language you use/want to use

    There are quite a few snippets available using a variety of techniques varying from .htaccess through to full systems with database backend etc.,

    Do a Search for Htaccess it is quite secure and easy to set up and you can have as many users as you want.

    For one user use the .htaccess file if you are on linux other wise you will need a script

    .htaccess supports multiple users, though you might want to make your life a little easier and use some kind of member management system.

    yep a script is always better for multiple users.
