Cannot .htaccess/.htpasswd on Windows Server Host?

[maza]

I did some of the suggestions on how to create the above two files. I FTP into my destination folder and it just entered freely without asking for password.

 

I was told by my provider that Windows based server does not support .htaccess/.htpasswd.

 

Is there any other way I can do this, if its not with .htaccess, how can I protect my /catalog/admin directory?

 

Thanks.

Hi I'm having the exact same problem. Surely there is a simple way to protect a folder on a Windows host??

Let me know how you got around this problem...
