Simply open that .txt file, and then "File >Save As" and then find "Save As Type" option and select "All files (*.*)" because then you will be able to save it as .xyz
Please, help! It is not working for me. I have another necessary rules in the .htaccess file that is located into the folder I want to protect (for https redirection). Since I added the validation rules, the folder can't be reached, I just see a NOT FOUND ERROR PAGE of my main domain, which is a WordPress site. What am I doing wrong?
I am not sure, because https redirection shouldn't make any difference from my understanding (or perhaps it may I am not sure for your setup). Anyhow, I think you got it fixed now? If so, please do share *how* you managed to do that. Thanks for sharing your input and yes if the #WordPress is installed in a sub-directory, your blog post information has that / forward slash (as you know represents another level of directory)
Yeah, I fixed it by following these steps: www.nivindel.com/htaccess-password-protection-subdirectory-wont-work-wordpress/. It's due to the Permalinks structure of WP. Then, it's necessary to modify the htaccess file generated by WP too. Thanks for your reply!
Great to hear, as for others reading this, make sure you backup .htacces file before experimenting, to learn more about .htaccess directives visit: codex.wordpress.org/htaccess
Hi, i done all the process properly. It works upto 10 days only. Know, it is not working. When i enter the user id and password. It shows the same login request only. how to solve it.
Sorry Ganesh but I don't know why this would be, as in work for 10 days and now doesn't work. I would really appreciate you comment back when you work out the cause and solution to this
Hello Jasmeet, check this URL out which may help stackoverflow.com/questions/14603568/password-protect-a-specific-url if you find a solution please come back and comment on #RankYa TH-cam channel so that other coders can also benefit
Hello Carlo, with PHP much is possible. Could be complex to achieve dependent on your skill level. But I think these will help stackoverflow.com/questions/24402047/php-session-destroy-after-closing-browser th-cam.com/video/JKHuhvBBhBQ/w-d-xo.html
Sir I Want Same Authentication But Using Login.php and style.css Page. And Giving Right username and password it's true then it redirect the welcome.php page...Please tel me how to do.
I would presume that your private folder would have index.php (thus your login.php content placed in it) which you can style.css it as well. as for redirection I am not sure but this may help stackoverflow.com/questions/20506931/apache-htaccess-redirect-based-on-logged-in-user For php redirection this can work:
Or this for those who find the video tutorial for password protection using .htaccess overwhelming stackoverflow.com/questions/5229656/password-protecting-a-directory-and-all-of-its-subfolders-using-htaccess
That's a good question, more than unlikely, however, there must be a way to protect folders/files regardless of server setup (let us know the outcome please)
I was going to do that earlier todayMost of it is the same, except for the file structure 1: Add: * AllowOverride AuthConfig * To your httpd.conf file and restart your apache service 2: Create an *.htpasswd* file and put it in the directory you want to protect and add this to the file: *AuthType Basic AuthName "Please Enter the Password to access this page" AuthUserFile C:Path/To/Your/Directory/You/Want/To/Protect/.htpasswd require valid-user* 3. Use an *htpasswd* generator to create a username:password combo, I used this one www.web2generators.com/apache-tools/htpasswd-generator 4. paste that into a .htaccess file that you create and put that in to the protected directory as well. That is about it. Like I said. Mostly the same, just the filesystem differences makes it hard to follow the video for a Windows user hosting an apache server. That is all I did to make mine work. hope that helps someone.
Finally a video that explains it properly! Thank you!

Please, help!
It is not working for me.
I have another necessary rules in the .htaccess file that is located into the folder I want to protect (for https redirection). Since I added the validation rules, the folder can't be reached, I just see a NOT FOUND ERROR PAGE of my main domain, which is a WordPress site.
What am I doing wrong?
I've even done the process via cPanel assistant, but no results.
I am not sure, because https redirection shouldn't make any difference from my understanding (or perhaps it may I am not sure for your setup). Anyhow, I think you got it fixed now?

how can we restrict particular URL in the website rather than folder.

Thank you very much!
Tarek and Haya thank you.
Vincent too.

my ".htmyxyz" file is automatically saving as a .txt file... how do I fix?
save as all file type
a very "OK!" video :) thank you
nice video

I use FileZilla FTP program, however, you can easily login to your web hosting > File Manager (and do everything there)
Thanks - you saved my day :-)
Thank You.

thank u so much :)
Video tutorial is not for everyone...he made it so hard to follow as he beats about the bush
You may find this of help as well www.htaccesstools.com/articles/password-protection/
Or this for those who find the video tutorial for password protection using .htaccess overwhelming stackoverflow.com/questions/5229656/password-protecting-a-directory-and-all-of-its-subfolders-using-htaccess
would this work on an Amazon S3 ?

thanks a lot
100th like. :D
Not a good video for people hosting their own apache server on a Windows machine.
Thanks for the comment Kacey, can you by any chance briefly outline the steps for local apache server? That would be great
I was going to do that earlier todayMost of it is the same, except for the file structure
1: Add:
*
AllowOverride AuthConfig
*
To your httpd.conf file and restart your apache service
2: Create an *.htpasswd* file and put it in the directory you want to protect and add this to the file:
*AuthType Basic
AuthName "Please Enter the Password to access this page"
AuthUserFile C:Path/To/Your/Directory/You/Want/To/Protect/.htpasswd
require valid-user*
3. Use an *htpasswd* generator to create a username:password combo, I used this one www.web2generators.com/apache-tools/htpasswd-generator
4. paste that into a .htaccess file that you create and put that in to the protected directory as well.
That is about it. Like I said. Mostly the same, just the filesystem differences makes it hard to follow the video for a Windows user hosting an apache server. That is all I did to make mine work. hope that helps someone.
Thanks Kasey for this great information, you are the best
