- First, log in to your UNIX account. To do this, you will need to use Secure Shell SSH, or X-windows.
- Once you have logged in to your UNIX account, move (change) to
the directory (where the web page is located) which you want to protect.
- Then, type the following: mkwebpass .
- You will then be prompted to type in a username/password (please
use ones that are 'different' from your unix username/password).
- This creates the .htaccess/.htpasswd file in the web page directory.
- If you want a different username/password combination, then simply
re-run the command.
- If you want to remove the password protection, simply delete the files .htaccess and .htpasswd .
