Password Protect Movie Files ?

[GibboNet]

I'm hoping there's an easy way to protect a folder with movie files, without an index page, and to be secure against anyone without the password.

They're home movies, and it has to be easy for my non-tech friends. I'm just cautios when it comes to hosting them in case someone else starts wasting my bandwidth.

Here's what I'd do (it's very simple for both parties, yourself/friends)

1. Make an index page (yourdomain.com/mycrap/index.php) for instance.
2. Put a simple javascript login on that page + JavaScript Disable Right Click[Make sure you get the good one]
3. Then when sucessfully logged in, the code should take your friend(s) to a new page called adjskhjrei38fsadr.php with a list of movies or whatever.

Google for: Password Protect Login or something like that. If you need help, I'll help get it setup.

Just a thought though. Not 100% flawless, but its very easy to do.

That method is fairly useless, as all someone has to do is 'view source' another way.
Such as 'ctrl-u' or View >> Page Source in Firefox.
