You can put the content in another directory off the main and use simple
Apache Authentication with the .htaccess file.

If you look in the FAQ/KB and look for 'secure' or 'secure folder' it should
pop up with instructions.

Additionaly, you can use authentication with PHP, etc. if you want, but that
will probably be over-engineering it.
