    Assuming you're using apache, you can use htaccess to do this for you. Failing that, you could create a php login script - however, that wont help when the files not a php file!

    If you use php, and use sessions, you can use this:

    if(!isset($_SESSION['id']))header('Location: index.php')
    PHP:
    If you don't have to much knowledge about php, you can better use htaccess protection.

    Hello,
    I just try to use htaccess by typing: Deny from all.
    But the problem is that it deny access even if a user register and use the login form.
    I guess I need to write a different code but I don't really know what. The page I want to protect is name client.php
