Client login - Please help!

[britoonsit]

Hello!

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest how to handle a basic client login. I'm doing graphic design for a client and I want them to be able to view the progress of the work I'm doing for them online by visiting my website. I want them to go to my website into a folder specifically for their business and then have to enter a password to be able to view the contents. I'm looking for a simple solution. Something like:

1) First the client enters my website URL followed by the folder name of their business - whatever.com/client-1

2) Window prompt pops up asking for username and password.

3) Client enters in their specific username and password that I provide them with and it loads the "index of..." directory with a list of their files.

I am fairly new to this, so any ideas how to do this would be extremely helpful!
Thanks in advance!

Brian.

in which language r u planning to code this?
i could suggest something like
save client username and passwd and rest details like u r saying progress over here, in database(may be mysql)
for window pop up use javascript code, or else just the screen containing form with username n passwd options in php say ot html
collect these username and passwd in $_POST
test it against database entries
n then display client's progress

this is just a general idea
but which language u r gonna use??? very basic question
