I was able to set up fileman in a dir under my cgi-bin dir. Also able to setup and run under a dir located under my root dir. I can password protect the script in the one under the root dir, but cannot seem to get the .htaccess to protect the file under my cgi-bin dir. Any help? Thanks

Don't quote me on it, but I read in the links forum somewhere about, in some cases, the admin has that capability turned off specifically for the users cgi-bin directories. (I think it was a tripod customer).

Tom,

First you've checked to make sure .htaccess is working at all, If its not you might need to get your systems administrator to change some of the feature settings under the apache configuration file.
depending on the version of apache your running there will be a access.conf or httpd.conf

Under that file you will find a command block which looks something like this:
<Directory /home/httpd/html>
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

that 'AllowOverride None' needs to be changed to 'AllowOverride All'. The same case is with the <Directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin... you'll need to edit that. Check those. If its still giving you problems try looking on the apache site: http://www.apache.org
