Protect DIR but allow access to a file/files

[peepsnet]

I am lookin for a way to password protect a directory but allow "access to all" to a few files. I am running a webstats package and only want visitors to be able to access the javascript file that is included on each webpage.

 

using .htaccess

 

Thanks,

Don

So is this not possible or does nobody know how...

Do I have to add more to the explination or what?

So you want:

 

Use htaccess & htpasswd to protect an entire Directory.

Allow exceptions to particular files within that Directory

 

I don't think it is possible. What you could do is:

1. Obviously use two separate directories.

2. Use htaccess & htpasswd to protect particular filetypes using a wildcard, e.g. *.jpg.
