Password Protecting Areas for Individuals

[riotctrl]

I have a client that wants to give individual access to his clients to specific movie clips on his site as he has exercises that his clients pay for. Now each program is specific to each specific client so I can't have a password system that is generic. Where as users sign in and only have access to the specific movie files that we choose. Does anyone have any ideas ?

You could build a user management interface to depending on the login info, only that user will have access to certain files.

Now depending if your host has support for PHP or not, you can setup PHPAccess

With my hosting services (on Windows), we support password protected folders.

I was hoping for something a little more complex where I could add the content I wanted to the users or add the pages I wanted them to have access to.

You wouldn't add the content to the users per say. More like you would restrict what users have access to content within what folders.

Basically, you would restrict a folder or folders and add users to that folder, then modify it's contents as needed so only those users logged in with access to those folders can view the contents.

As ChrisK said, PHPAcess is a handy little interface if your host supports it. Every host has some sort of feature built in to enable you to do this. If you are not running on a remote host but using your own server (e.g. IIS, Apache) you will have to configure this manually. Either way it's a fairly common task.

My hosting services does support this feature, but I wouldn't say that EVERY host has such a feature.
