Not everybody uses Cpanel or GUI tools to configure things like this. Some people like to learn how it works also. :)

htaccess is for a lot more than just basic authentication, although in general it's better practice to use a Directory directive in the main config file if you are able. It makes it easier to figure out which directories have which special directives applied to them. - spyres, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I like it. Very straightforward. He also has a nice password/htaccess link from that site.

- spyres, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yeah, I'm aware of and have used built in CP stuff for folder locking/pw protecting.
It's just nice to be able to understand how to do it manually if need be. - bonlebon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1cool digg.

Useful to have handy. Only problem that I can find is... how do you make joke comments about this one?
