Daemonj Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The file should have 644 permissions, which means that only your account can edit the file.

Guest Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 ask your host :D but basically for my case i have an option with the host panel to password protect a directory. That in turn creates an password file that places encrypted username/password info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was refering that you need the .htpasswd file. That is created by your host's control panel usually to lock a dir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
