Thank you for your insight. I am guessing that I will need to place an
htaccess file inside the directory that I am looking to have secure access
to.. is this correct?
Also, what is the file format that should be used inside the file? Do I
make this with a regular notepad file editor or what should be used?
If I have seen correctly, you just place a file called ".htaccess" inside
the directory with the usernames specified. Not sure if this is correct.
Thanks again for your help. This will make things much easier to use.
