Password Protecting Directories
You can password protect folders in your account without
having to deal with the hassle of .htaccess. To password
protect a directory in your site, log in to CPanel.
From there, click on the button labeled Web Protect
listed under "Site Management Tools". On the next
page, a list of all of the folders in your site will
appear. Click on the one you wish to protect. On the
next page, there should be a text box labeled "Protected
Resource Name". In that, type what you want to appear on
the password prompt that opens up when a user tries to
access the directory. Then click on save . Now at the
bottom of that page, enter a username and password that
you wish to use to access the directory and click add
new user . You may also add additional users if you
wish.
