Can I Password Protect Directories?

Yes, you can password protect specific directories within your website.

You can begin assigning unique ids and passwords by following the procedures for .htaccess. As such, visitors will be prompted for id and password to gain access to any web page within such a directory. This does NOT affect FTP access.

HTAccess is a NCSA compatible (our server is) way to use password-protection on HTML documents and server directories. The interface prompts the user through the browser for a password, if HTAccess is attached to the directory tree containing the HTML page requested. Check our .htaccess tutorial.
