Thanks to pspportal and reading many posts here i have managed to set up a web server (the easy part) and finally a rss audio feed that my psp can find and play the audio from when connected to my lan.
As i have set up the web server to be available via the internet i have set up username and password on HFS software for the index page and the music folder.
This works fine and dandy at my work, as i use winamp which asks for a username and password first and then streams the mp3 ok.
My problem is that i have to remove the password from the music folder to be able to use the feed on the psp- (i have to to do this at home too on my lan feed) as there dosnt seem to be a prompt for user/pass when reading the channel! (of course the psp does ask me for user/pass when i actually go to my pspportal page to add the feed)
i know its a longshot that someone could find my ip , then my open port and type hfs folder name into IE.
ie.
http://65.554.433.222:6543/stuffforhfs/but it is possible and thats why i really want the 'stuffforhfs' folder passworded.so if anyone bypasses the pspportal page they still have to type in a username.
has anyone got any ideas on this ??
thanks silky
