♥Vger Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Simplest solution is - go to your web hosting control panel (provided by your hosting company and nothing to do with the osCommerce admin panel) and locate the Password or Directory Protection link. Use that to Password Protect the 'admin' folder for you. There's no need to write .htaccess files when most web hosting control panels provide this feature which will automate the password protection for you.
