Suppose you want to protect the directory "/home/pashmina/domains/example.com/public_html/protected/" (which would be accessible at http://example.com/protected). Create this .htaccess in that directory
Code:
require valid-user
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Protected directory"
AuthUserFile /home/pashmina/domains/example.com/public_html/protected/.htpasswd


and your .htpasswd file just lists the valid users and their encrypted passwords, one by line
Code:
guest:eqLX5l2QKYIXM
admin:j5vP7y957hsQ2


The encryption method is (usually) different on Linux and Windows servers. For Linux use http://spectrum.troy.edu/password/ to generate the user:password lines automatically; or for both Linux and Windows user the htpasswd tool installed with the Apache server.
