Read the documentation section on htaccess support (http://localhost/syshelp/htaccess.htm). It explains the file format as well as setting up the password file. As for the editor, you can use Notepad. When you save the file, you need to surround the file name with quotes as it will not allow you to save an extension-only file otherwise.
So, instead of File - Save As - .htaccess you will use ".htaccess" and it will work fine.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Adams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 10:22 PM Subject: [sambar] Directory Security Restrictions {02} > Brian, > > This is not a bug - the security restriction is working by design; > /vtdj.com/intranet does not equal /intranet.
