jje Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Create a file named '.htaccess' in the folder you wish to protect and paste the following code: AuthUserFile /home1/hacker/protected/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "A Restricted Area" AuthType Basic <Limit GET POST> require valid-user </Limit> Create another file named '.htpasswd' in the folder you wish to protect and use this website to generate the contents: http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/ Don't use the cPanel Password Protect otherwise your work may be overwritten!
