That way you can access any file with either http or https. Oh ya, no security problem here.The only way to run a secure server is on a differant box with a unique IP. All secure files should ONLY be on the ssl server box.If I understand correctly, in the settup you would need tow copies of WebCat to work? If so three grand is out of reach for me. I guess that sends me back to FMPro for a solution. Glad I found this out now.Tiz been interesting...<--Glenn-->~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Glenn & Renee Davis Exclusively Web / Net Highway (916) 887-0678 Web Page Design / Hosting Services POB 157, Cool,CA 95614-0157 http://www.ExclusivelyWeb.com http://www.Net-Hwy.com &&& ||| (@ @) (@ @) ----------------------------ooO---U---Ooo---------------ooO--(_)--Ooo------->> Mailto:renee@Net-Hwy.com Mailto:glenn@Net-Hwy.com Mailto:renee@ExclusivelyWeb.com Mailto:glenn@ExclusivelyWeb.com Graphics Design Webmaster
