Edit HTML content behind a secure folder

[mumf]

Hi

I have a site that my client needs to edit pages that are stored in a secure
folder. When I try to navigate to these pages in Contribute it says I cannot
edit it. I dont want to change the permissions on the folder as it has to be
secure.

Is their a way round this?

Hope someone can help

Thanks

Have you tried making a Contribute connection directly to the folder, like: [url]http://www.yourdomain.com/secure_folder/[/url]

Hi

Contribute does not let me make a connection to
[url]http://www.yourdomain.com/secure_folder/[/url]

I enter the info to "What is the web address of your website" it then asks "On
the ftp server, what folder contains your website"

The folder sits in a directory called "public_html/shareholders.... and that
is what I enter on the screen

But it says it cannot create a connection.

If I just put in the url (with no pinting to the secure folder) at the first
screen it does make a connection.

I really hope I can edit what is in the secure folder.

Any ideas?, thanks for your help

I can't get a connection going with Contribute and my webserver.

It's an apache server and I've typed in the correct password.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
