Password Protect a single file using .htaccess
by Rekha[ Edit ] 2008-08-05 09:12:51
* To password protect just a single file in a folder, use the following .htaccess file:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /home/usr/pwd
<Files "admin.php">
Require user hiox
</Files>
This will password protect just the admin.php file in the folder where you put the .htaccess file.
Password protecting more than one stuff:
* To password protect more than one file in the same folder, just create more <Files></Files> blocks within the same .htaccess file - for example:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /home/usr/pwd
<Files "admin.php">
Require user hiox
</Files>
<Files "index.php">
Require user hiox
</Files>
