I'd like to password protect a folder of my website (because it contains phpMyAdmin), and I've done a search on Google. All of the information that I found mentioned .htaccess and .htpasswd. As far as I can tell, these are two text files that I should put in the directory, but I didn't understand much more than that.
Also, I'm using shared webspace, and all of the guides said that to make .htpasswd I needed to use Telnet to connect to my server (which I can't do).
I know that this is possible on the servers that I'm hosted on because I've seen other sites do it. Could someone explain what I should do to create password protection, or point me to a good guide on it?

Edit: Nevermind, I found the solution.
