Dear list members, On a shared hosting linux webserver running Apache I have a password protected directory. I want users who have the password for the directory "/downloads" to be able to list the contents of that directory and its subdirectories. I have an .htaccess file in the password protected directory /downloads with the following contents: Options Indexes AuthType Basic AuthName "Access to /downloads" AuthUserFile /kunden/homepages/18/d249834675/htpasswd Require user Ikari I thought the Options Indexes line would allow me to do that, but when I type in: www.xxxxxxx/downloads/ in the browser I get Error 403 "You have tried to access a document for which you don't have privileges. Before I put "Options Indexes" in the .htaccess I got an Error 404 File not found. Could someone tell me how to set it up so users who have the password to the directory can list, view and download the contents of the directory. Many thanks, Harry Spier
Harry,You use IndexOptions ShowForbidden and let you user auth once they click on the resource.
