It seems as though I need to create/use encrypted passwords in my .htpasswd file? Using just a standard word for password does not work for me. If so, how do you recommend I create this?
I've created .htaccess based on the instructions in user area and placed it in one of my directories. The path to my htpasswd is:
AuthUserFile /virtual/users/webID/xxx/.htpasswd
where the webID is my own found on website/FTP page.
However just using simple words for username:password does not work for me, it keeps prompting me for username/pword.
It would be useful if you were to add these instructions to your .htaccess page. |

If you go back to member area, on the same page below the instructions, there is a form you can use to generate encrypted passwords. Then you will need to put the encrypted text in the password file.
