Okay... i didnt know where to put this, so i put it here.
My webhost wont allow filenames that begin with a period. I wanted to create a "protected" directory, and all the google searches that i tried all pointed to the .htaccess and such...
Is there any other way to make a password protected directory?
(my webhost does have PHP and MySQL) |

| That's correct .htaccess is the way to do it. I actually have a very good link for that in my favorites list, here you go: LINKY! |

I don' t know about password protected as in a login on your website. However I am using a different method to keep people out of my directorys, permissions. Basically you need to login to your server via FTP or some kind of online file manager that allows you to access the folders permissions. Just select the folder you want to keep people out of and set the permissons to 711 or (drwx--x--x) Which ever format you are more comfortable in. Basically that makes it so the owner (that's you) can access and change the files when logged in, and that group and others can only excecute. Works great for me.
