One concern that I have, is by placing the test site online in a different folder, it will break some of my links on the site that have been hard coded.

Is there a better solution, or is this what most admins do?

Thanks!
Jeff

It then popsup a window like what you see when you go to the members area of vb.com - it asks for a username and password that you set up - not your vbulletin username and password. Since you must know the username and password in order to see the test site, it can't be crawled by spiders.
I have a shared hosting plan through 1&1. I have control panel access as well as FTP access, but I don't see any controls such as cPanel or webmin.

However when I use my FTP client, and I right click on the directory that I'm going to put my test site in, I can select file attributes for that directory. The options are as follows: Owner Permissions/Group Permissions/Public Permissions - with the following check boxes for each category: Read/Write/Execute. Will this accomplish the same thing? Would I just uncheck all three boxes in the "Public Permissions" file attributes? Would I also need to alter the Group Permissions?

Is this the same as the htaccess protection that Lynne is speaking of, or is this something totally different? If it is different, does anyone use 1&1 and can you tell me where to find these controls?

Thanks!
Jeff
