Here is a short example of password protecting a directory with htaccess and htpassword.

#put this is your .htaccess file that resides
#in the directory that you wish to protect

AuthUserFile /path/to/whereever/.users
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Miami"
<LIMIT GET POST&gt
require valid-user
</LIMIT&gt

#run this command after you add the htaccess
#command to add a user to a newuser file
sudo htpasswd -c /path/to/whereever/.users newusername

#command to add a user to an exsisting file
sudo htpasswd /path/to/whereever/.users newusername

you will then be prompted twice for the new password for the username that you chose in the command above. Thats all folks…

Enjoy,

Whatever do you mean… well your just going to have to hold yourself until the next rest stop Billy were just about there. And it’s going to be pretty fresh if I do say so myself.

A few other notes….
Science of sleep: great movie… go see it now… hit the pipe first… trust me Black Dahlia: a complete and utter waste of 10$… Scarlett Johansson should be sliced from ear to ear and then have her guts ripped out… hell thats how I felt sitting through that car crash.

stay tuned.
