You can add a .htaccess file to secure your web folder with password protection. Let’s assume the location web folder is /home/ykyuen/public_html

1. Change directory to /home/ykyuen/public_html

• cd /home/ykyuen/public_html

2. Create the password file .htpasswd using the htpasswd command

• htpasswd -c .htpasswd <username>

* Please refer to the man page for htpasswd usage
 

3. Create the .htaccess file

AuthName "Password Required"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/ykyuen/public_html/.htpasswd
require valid-user

4. Check it out thru a web browser

        

Done =)
