site is done and its time to protect my directories. maybe i should have done it sooner, but i put it off because i didnt know how.

The tutorial i read gives instructions to make this code, but my isprime tech told me he wouldnt advise it and then he had to go.

The tutorial told me to put this within htaccess, and then go make a crypt.cgi with the userpass encrypted. And it says that will do fine.

AuthUserFile /home/username/domain.com/admin/.htaccess
AuthName "Administration"
AuthType Basic
[Limit GET>require valid-user[/Limit>

Then the tech guy told me he would advise me to use a htpassword file or something?

Im very lost.

Has anyone got a decent tutorial on this stuff, or care to lend a hand?

Thanks ...
