I have a site hosted on a cobalt server, unfortunatley I only have FTP access to, I want to be able to authenticate on a directory. I can succesfully place the .htaccess file in the directory put not sure what I do not if i can create my own psswd file and place it somewhere.


Can anyone help, It doesnt have to be high security.

Thanks

If you have FTP access only, and no control panel etc. you can create a local password file (using htpasswd in your local linux server) and upload it in ASCII mode to the server.

If you do not have a local linux server, you may be out of luck.

Hope this helps. :)
