htaccess problems

[lastrezort]

I'm having problems installing the htaccess file on my server...

If I want to protect my c:\blah\blah\blah directory, what do I have to write in my htacces file???

Also, the password thingy...

I don't understand how the encryption works or even how to make it work...

Could anyone send instructions PLEASE???

And you don't think I tried that??? :mad: I only post here when I have problems!

nope I didn't. When you write a problem with as little information in as you did one assumes you are starting from the beginning.

You need to give us more information on what you have tried, what errors you are getting....before we can start to help you.

this is what my htaccess file has:
authuserfile /usr/local/apache/passwd/.htpasswd
authtype basic
authname enterpassword
authgroupfile /dev/null
<limit get post>
require user username
</limit>

this is a very basic access file.
