hey guys,

any way i can allow an end user to change their password for a password protected directory?

e.g. i have a folder 'private' which has 5 users in it. can i give them all a password 'welcome' and tell them how to change the password for it themselves?

thanks
 
Unless you are using some sort of script for password protection with a user area, chances are no. Standard control panel password protection is done by editing the .htaccess file - your user can't edit that file without ftp access, and even if he did open it he would see everyone's passwords.
 
its not sharing the same folder. basically its an information page for 8 different people. i'd have done it in PHP but for just 8 totally static pages its not worth it. each page has information for only that one person. i've just made the passwords as their last name as default, but i'd like to give them the option of changing their passwords to prevent guessing. unless i generate random passwords, which is annoying
