Whether or not to use a .htaccess or directive command to protect a directory so I'm looking for some answers on what works the best usually.Protecting a folder called xxxx Alias /xxx "D:/" <Directory "D:/"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all </Directory>use .htaccess or how can I use the above directive to only allow a specific user in?The directives can be put in either place (apache config or .htaccess file). However, <Directory> cannot be used inside an .htaccess file, so you'll have to put the .htaccess file in the directory you wish to protect.I assume you want the user to be prompted for a username/password when they visit the directory? Basic HTTP authentication will accomplish that for you.http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html -- Justin Pasher --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
