Put the bellow text, with your information, in a file named ".htaccess" in the directory you want protected:

AuthUserFile /home/sites/www.yourdomain.com/web/protected/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Protected Directory"
AuthPAM_Enabled off

<LIMIT GET POST>
require valid-user
</LIMIT>

AuthUserFile needs to equil the path to your protected directory + .htpasswd
After that, telnet into the server, cd to the protected directory and run:

htpasswd -c .htpasswd UserName

you should be prompted for a password after that. Username is the User you want to give access to the protected dir.

To add more users, from the protected directory, run:

htpasswd .htpasswd UserName
