Apache .htaccess file maker

To create a .htaccess file enter the full path to the .htpasswd file you wish to use. In most cases you can set this to the folder you wish to apply access controls to (i.e. same place as the .htaccess file you create here).

Path to protect	e.g. To protect http://yoursite/private enter /home/yourusername/www/private.
Resource name	e.g. Admin area or Fred's Secret Area
Note - You don't need to put a / on the end.
