Help with .htaccess file - How do I go about adding users/passwords?
I have setup an .htaccess file to protect a file manager script that was installed, but I'm not sure as to how to ad a username/password in the pass.txt file. Anyone have the answer?

You'll have to get a script to do it. The password has to be encrypted.

you need to use htpasswd
here how to use it:
htpasswd pass.txt username
and it will prompt you for the password.
to create a neww password file use -c
htpasswd -c passwordfile username
to find where is htpasswd type at the telnet prompt
find / -name 'htpasswd'

All the encryption is, is the password crypted (in perl)...
$password = crypt("mypass", "l1" );
put it in a file
username:y1kR9kDCFnMtQ
That's how the script's do it.
