If its for 4.2.2 this is the wrong section.
As for an .htaccess option:
For server owners (Windows+SSH/Remote desktop/etc):
1) Go to
http://aspirine.org/htpasswd_en.html
2) Enter username and password
3) Choose encryption type (SHA1 is strongest, plain is weakest.)
4) Press "Encrypt pass"
5) Go into notpad, paste that in. Save file as .htpasswd and be sure to select "All files" and not .txt
6) Move to C:\
7) Make .htaccess with the following:
Quote:
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
<Files FileYouWantPasswordProtected.php>
require valid-user
|
Place in the folder with the file you wish to have password protected.
That all assumes you have the .htpasswd in C:\
To change the location of the .htpasswd, change the line:
For C:\php\pub\ it would be:
/php/pub/.htpasswd
