Hi Maggie - <br />
<br />
If you do not have access to the httpd.conf file, then you would do this via a .htaccess file (as long as your server admin has given you permission to do so).<br />
<br />
There's a good basic article on this at:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.apacheweek.com/issues/96-10-18#userauth" rel="ugc">http://www.apacheweek.com/issues/96-10-18#userauth</a><br />
<br />
If you'd like a way of managing your password files without ssh or telnet access, you might consider using a program like Access Denied:<br />
