First try at this

[phpSensei]

im trying to protect my js file with htaccess but it doesnt work

 

<FilesMatch AjaxUpload.js>
AuthName "Member Only"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /filecrave.com/.htpasswd
require valid-user
</FilesMatch>

[trq]

Your matching an index.html file.

 

By the way, doing this will render your js unusable without providing a password.

Sorry, that was an old copy paste, its supose to say AjaxUpload.js

See my edited reply.

And you ought be using Files not FilesMatch.

Okay, Isn't there an easier to protect a Js files. I know couple of ways but it will take me long to code it.

[trq]

js files need to be accessible in order to work, what are you trying to protect them from?

I know that, I have a client that wants a JS script done, I want to show it to him VIA my server but he can always just copy paste the js script and steal it..

Indeed he could and there really isn't much you can do about it. js executes on the client, therefore it needs to be accessible in order to work.

Thanks for the help anyways , the script is also dependent on a php file so it doesnt matter. I got paid so its fine.

 

 

again thankyou
