Hi AngelX,

WebmasterWorld tries to be not a place to hire others to do work for you. There are excellent freelancer sites for that and you'll get much better response there. Our focus is to try it ourselves, get our hands dirty and actually learn something from it :)

The .htaccess file is located in your root folder of your webserver. If you don't have such a file it's easy. Just create one with the exact content you need to block your specific area and upload that file to your server with FTP. If an .htaccess file already exists on your web space, you should first download that file to your local computer, add the block lines to the top of the file and then upload it again to your server.

In most cases using FTP is the easiest way to upload and download files on your web space, but if you use a content management system on your site, it is sometimes also possible to edit the .htaccess file directly within your browser environment.
