Sometimes webhosting companies disable the htaccess functionality on
their apache servers.

There are several web pages (or even offline tools, sorry don't
remember the names) to create those htaccess/htpasswd files ; for
instance : http://www.clockwatchers.com/htaccess_tool.html

Beware of the proper of those files : .htaccess and .htpasswd
(On Windows, you can for exemple create such files by first creating
htaccess then operate a ren operation in a dos command window (same
for .htpasswd).

Last, you may try your both files locally with easyphp for instance.

No, it's a function of the Media.

Let me rephrase. Is there a program that can write data and, at a time
interval, erase that data? Perhaps a "ride along" program that carries
Eraser with it, activates Eraser and Eraser deletes the data to DoD
standard.

They call them Self-Deleting Executables, however none are DoD, but it
probably wouldn't take much to add a routine to do DoD deletion.
 
If you need to do this on a regular basis with the same client, perhaps
you could send the file (maybe even encrypt it) via modem directly to
his modem. I used to do this in the olden days. I didn't have Internet
access in '93. :(

It would have to be read in a burner. Reading in a standard CD or DVD
drive would not work.

You guys are more knowledgeable than I am but what is the big deal about
sending a file (two files appended or symbiotic) with one with the text and
the other with the Eraser (type) with a built in timer to execute? Or a
built in "once opened" erase mode? Or even combining that feature in one
program like an automated en/decrypt?

It would seem to be a natural and there are email programs that do this.
 
I only just came across this thread, so apologies if I am repeating
something which has been said.

Have a look at YouSendIt:

http://www.yousendit.com/

Files up to 1Gb can be sent. You do not have to reveal your own name or
address. By encoding the file and sending the key direct to the recipient
you could ensure privacy. (I've just sent someone a 12Mb file and it worked
very well).

Perhaps this service should be mentioned on the Webware page.

Good idea. Perhaps you should check the Webware page before making
suggestions for additions. ;)

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but maybe could be made to
work:

Dead Man's Switch v1.0

http://freeware4u.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=154

<quotes from the page>
This application was sparked by an Ars OpenForum thread about what
would happen if one of us were to shuffle off to that Great
Motherboard in the Sky. Software which would act as a proverbial "Dead
Man's Switch" came up, which is basically a system that, if not reset
by a given time, will automatically carry out a series of tasks, such
as posting messages to websites like Ars, sending e-mails to loved
ones (or hated ones), and encrypting or destroying sensitive files
(*cough* pr0n *cough*). Interest was expressed for the creation of
such software, and well, here it is.

The software is designed to run without installation. Just stick it in
a convenient directory, and it will create all the necessary registry
entries the first time it is run. Any additional files that it creates
will be in the same directory, and will have the extensions .dwp and
..dem, for easy portability.

The software can carry out three functions: posting to web pages,
sending e-mails, and encrypting files (props to WanderingWastrel for
the idea). I haven't tested the webpage posting extensively with all
that many websites, so you may want to test them yourself (there is an
easy mechanism to do so within the program) before setting and
forgetting.

In case the you encrypt files accidentally (forget to reset the
switch, etc.), or if you are testing the system out by manually
triggering the timer, you can decrypt the files using this decryption
program. Just make very sure you remember your password!!!

Hey there,

Thanks, Little Grrl!

You're welcome. Have you tested it out yet? I've told myself countless
times that I'd run it through a few tests, but never seem to get
around to it. :)
