Hiding info in a batch file
« on: August 25, 2007, 06:04:24 PM »
Ok, I am trying to make a Batch file to enter my website.

I havent started coding yet but I would like a way to make the username and password not able to be seen.

I am fine with changing the type of file to like exe or com but so far every thing i try changing it to a com it errors.

    what do you want to do when you manage to contact your website? do you want to browse it? do some transferring of files to your web server?? pls be more detailed.

    The person i am working with to create my website is the better person to ask, and i will ask him asap.

    I believe i am going to be using (i cant remember exactly) it is a .htaccess and i want the batch file to enter the password and username and then continue to the site, so that they do not see the password.

    I get what you mean...I think...

    You need an encrypting/converting software to change .bat to .exe.

    As for your question, are you trying to make it so you can see what you type, for example here:

    set /p password= :

    I don't think it is possible to hide what you type there.
