With .htaccess

Create a file called .htaccess

in it add the next lines



AuthUserFile /home/sites/site1/web/directory/.htpasswd
AuthName "Restricted access"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require username
</Limit>



note that require username is the user that must be entered in the text box

that will apear on the screen when some one try to open that directory

Then on the shell in the dir where .htaccess is located type:

htpasswd -c AuthUserFile /home/sites/site1/web/directory/.htpasswd username

the -c flag will ask you for a password, 2 times, the first for the password
and the second for confirmation

sorry my english, hope you understanded my explaination
