See the section in the Apache manual about .htaccess and htpasswd. You didn't specify which version of Apache you're running. Apache 2's manual has a couple of tutorials on authentication, .htaccess, etc. that are pretty thorough in describing how to set this up.

Good luck,

Rick

you'd be better served using an ftp server... are you using a windows box at school?

A few links to help you out, mainly from the 1.3 manual.

http://apache-server.com/tutorials/A...-htaccess.html

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html

And many more with a quick google search.

I could have sworn I already covered that in my first post...

But besides, the links I provided should be more than enough information/documentation to get it working.
