First of all, make sure your ISP enable password protected in your web server.

If yes, you can put .htaccess in the "admin" directory, make sure the path is point to your .htpasswd file. It should work fine if all of things set correctly.

Good Luck!

Bin,

It would be most helpful if you would put your inquiries into the correct forum and not in ALL the forums. It would also be helpful if you would mention what the name of the password script is you are using and where it came from.

The password protection needed for the Links admin directory is a function of the server, not the Links script. For example, if your system is using the Apache web server, then you use the .htaccess/.htpasswd method of protecting the directory. Other web servers may have other ways of doing it.

Regardless, this is the Links Modifications forum and this thread does not apply here. Please do not post in every forum.
