quick way round it...

do you have cpanel with your current web host? if so its usually www.yourname.com/cpanel with the username and password usually the same as yuor ftp details.

if you have cpanel, simply click on "password protect directories" and your away. otherwise i suggest www.htmlhelp.com for some info on .htaccess files. good luck!

What if I dont ahve Cpanel?

Like GoDaddy they dont have Cpanel..

When I ask how I will password protect my folders they jsut told me to Modify .htaccess and search 'how to' at Google.

They really suck when it comes to convenience, dont they? >

be careful if you use Frontpage or the FP extensions. They create their own version of the .htaccess file and changes can disable access.
