Hello there, I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to make a public directory within a private website. In other words, the entire website needs to be password protected (.htaccess) except for a single directory.
Any help or advice would be very appreciated. Thank you. :^)

What type of server are we talking about here?

Thanks much for the reply and the welcome Bill. :^) The server in question is a Redhat 9 box running Apache 2.0.49

I'd make two top level directories, one for the public and the other for the private directories and password protect the private top level folder. Or am I making this too simple...

...or let your root be public and just put the rest of the site into a protected folder or sub-domain. Then your home page (index.html) could be open, but everything else would require a password.
