Fresh Software Releases Warden 1.44 [ 4/24/2012 ]

Fresh Software today released a major update to Warden, version 1.44. Warden is a Windows-based .htpasswd and .htaccess manager for Apache websites. It activates password-protection for website URLs in a simple wizard interface. As a web user manager, the program can suspend web accounts in a single click, search accounts by username/password/real name/email address, and send individual or mass emails to users.

Version 1.44 introduces Warden Server. Now you can remotely edit Warden projects and the users within them from another computer, from a smartphone, or a tablet device. Warden Server also contains several back-end commands that can be integrated with web scripts to help automate account management.

Also new in 1.44 is a feature to generate PHP login scripts, which allows Apache authentication through web forms. The software release also contains other enhancements and bug-fixes.

Fresh Software LLC, a Wisconsin-based shareware and freeware company, was founded in 1998 by Andrew Niese. Its other programs include X-NetStat, Sentry, Port Magic, FreshFind, and DirSpace.
