Hi azov,

Unfortunately, I also do not "spreken zie duetch" either. "Canadian Eh" is my native language Smile

The webmaster of that site has been thoughtful enough to provide us with the English version of the form just below the German one .. just scroll down the page a bit.

In the first field <Full path to the directory you want to protect> put in your Full Path to your links admin directory ie your site's version of:
/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/lottotutor/cgi-bin/links/admin
(do not add a trailing "/")
In the second field <Username> put whatevername
In the third field <Password/admin> put your password

The form will then make the contents of two files for you... ".htaccess" and ".htpasswd"

Copy and paste the info into a text editor like notepad and save the files as the above two named, then ftp them up into your links admin directory.

You should now have a password protected admin directory.

One final note. You may have to type in the username and password a few times to access all three frames of the links admin page.
