Question How do I password protect ~/public_html on the web?


I'm running Ubuntu Dapper Drake, I have apache2 installed and a directory in ~/public_html with a simple website.

All I need is that when the directory is accessed through the web (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/folder/) the user will need to enter a username and a password or just a password.

Can I do that using apache or do I need some script?

go to apache (org) web site (i'm restricted at the moment), the http server link.

Under documents for version 2 it explains it all under the how-to tutorials.
