Hello
I have a number of password protected folder on my home server. They are all sub directories of a directory which everyone has access to. The server auto indexes each directory.
Eg: everyone can access
http://blah.blah.com/~hamish/ but the sub directory
http://blah.blah.com/~hamish/protected/ has a .htaccess file in it requiring a password.
At the moment, if you are in
http://blah.blah.com/~hamish/, you can't see the "protected" directory.
I would like to be able to see the folder link of the protected folder so I can click on it and then enter my password. At the moment, have to type in the full address (
http://blah.blah.com/~hamish/protected/), and then put my password in, before I can see inside that folder.
The question is, how can I show the password protected folder in the non-password protected directory?
I think it is something to do with AllowOverride, but I'm not quite sure how that works.
Thanks in advance
Hamish
