hi all which is the best way to protect html files from being stolen(downloaded)? Or if they are being downloaded which is the best way to encrypt them? thanks
you see i have some templates in html and css. many customers wants to see them live. but i can't do that for security reasons. i would like to protect the files from being downloaded or in case they still are i would like to protect the content.
What about taking a screen shot of them and posting that? This way they can see what it looks like but no chance of them getting the programming.
Gotcha, if you search google for free protect html or just protect html there are quite a few options free and paid that are available: http://www.antssoft.com/htmlprotector/index.htm http://www.htmlguardian.org/help_main.html Good luck!
Not sure maybe you can do it with HTAccess. maybe this might help you: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum92/207.htm Just change the file format to your files and test to see if it works.
Rippers always win, just accept it. Don't encrypt your pages, it is for newbies and doesn't work. Even the biggest websites have normal, visible, HTML.
You really want to protect your HTML and CSS code? Don't put it online - it's the only option. The only other thing you can do is to use absolute URLs (such as http://www.example.com/webpage.html for instance) and exercise due dilligence.
Encryption can be broken. Right-click blockers don't stop using the Tools menu. Neither really can work when you can just save the page to your hard drive and open it in notepad. If you are a website builder, you can set up a webserver on your private machine (or one dedicated to that) and DO NOT publish the web server details. You can give your client instructions on accessing it (as in, give them the IP address to connect to in order to view the site 'live'). It won't stop people who are scanning for webservers on an IP range, but odds are it will be far more private than it would be if you slapped a domain name on it and threw it to the internet. Hassle? Perhaps a bit. Either that or install your stuff on an offline machine and have your client come over and show them in person (really only an option if your client lives within a reasonable travel distance).
Well if you want to show the live menu n all, then only make that part live.... n the rest u can keep as image (insert as image in the page)
You could put live a jpg the site with some copyright text on it. I think that is the best solution for it
