Fred, If your ISP provides you with directory access / Shell access to the files and they provide this service via Apache, it is possible that they also have configured apache to allow you to provide directives to the webserver. Documentation starts here: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PasswordBasicAuth
It is possible to configure this on a per directory basis, so that each user on a server can set their own permissions for files. If you ISP has not done this, then there this is where using Content management systems comes in, since they have done all the work on time to make it simple. If you have to use cpanel to address configuration issues for your website, then you may end up loading up a CMS to do this work faster than getting the ISP to adjust apache configurations.
