The home page for my legitimate password protected report is:

http://familytrees.genopro.com/tonyerin/tonyerin/default.htm

However, in a google search, individuals in the password protected page show up in the search, and when one clicks on it, a password is not required.  The URL for this unprotected page is:

http://familytrees.genopro.com/tonyerin/GenoPro%20Reports/GenoPro%20Reports/The%20Entire%20Family/default.htm

I logged on to the Genopro control panel, and I can only see the legitimate directory.  I used the Genopro FTP application and I can only see the legitimate directory.  I was wondering if "orphan" old web pages can be left out on Genopros servers and if their is a way to delete these.

Thanks,

Tony Favata

Google, like most other search robots, is caching the information on its servers.  The cached data is used for analyzing the webpage and extracting/indexing keywords.  The cached data remains on the server for some times (about 4 weeks) even after it has been removed from the visited web site.

This topic has been discussed several times in this forum.  Please do a search on "google" or "password".  I'm sure you will find an answer.

I think Tony has a valid point. The second reference brings up a report on the familytrees.genopro.com website that was generated in October 2007, so although the information might be cached by Google, the report certainly is not. Also the Directory of public publications on the GenoPro site has no listing of any reports by tonyerin (which is as it should be if all Tony's reports are password protected).

I agree , it appears that the directory these files are located in are not accessible. (http://familytrees.genopro.com/tonyerin/GenoPro Reports/GenoPro Reports/The Entire Family/default.htm) Have you tried using the FTP client to delete them?

The FTP client is not showing this old report as well.  As such I cannot delete.  Please HELP, as some family members are starting to become irritated that pictures of their kids are out there on the web, even though I promised I would password protect.

Thanks

As your GenoPro reports are password protected nobody out here can help much. As the rogue report is in a sub-directory of a sub-directory it may not be easy to find using the ftp utility.

One possibility is to delete the main report and then use the ftp utility to see if anything else is in the directory. If you chop the head off it should all disappear.

Then check to see if the report appears - obviously purge the cache on your PC first
