In you're .htaccess file you give the location of the .passwd file which is
created with passwd from a unix command line (through telnet if the server
is by your provider)

do man passwd to find out how to create a .passwd file

the passwords in the .passwd file are encrypted so it should solve you're
problem.

Hi Marc,

I realize that no one can read my passwd file but how about when you type it
in the web page to gain access to that directory if as hacker you are sitting
there a smple snoop will get all the username and password.


Any other solution.
thanks,
