To password protect a directory:
1. Create a text file called .htaccess using a simple word
processing program like Notepad or Wordpad.
2. Insert the contents below - customizing the
bold/italicized portions to anything you like. AuthUserFile
/usr/local/etc/htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName yourdomain.com_or_any_name
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET PUT POST>
require user any_username_you _choose
</Limit>
3. Save the file as ".htaccess"
without the quotes and with the beginning period.
4. Ftp it to the directory you want to password protect. Use
ASCII mode not binary for uploading this file.
5. Make a note of what you set the "require user"
to.
6. Fill out the password request form at: http://secure.arcbyte.com/secure/password-request.html
7. We will normally activate your password protection
within 24 hours.

use, go to: CGI
