Well you could go to http://hotscripts.com and find some php scripts that can do that.
Or you can go to:
your abyss web server console -> Server Configuration -> Advanced -> Access Control. From there, click add. From the virtual path put the folder you want to protect. Ex. /phpMyAdmin would protect a folder called phpMyAdmin. For realm, just put something that describes where you are trying to enter. This doesn't matter to much though.
To allow certain users, select one of the users you made (if you havn't, go to you main console page -> Server Configuration > Advanced > Users and Groups and make one.)
Then, click ok. Go to that directory and put your username/password in the form that you made for the user you created.

I've always wanted to password protect my HTDOCS folder from people looking at the directory, but then it would stop people from viewing the sites. If/when i can..i certainly will, ^^;.

Just put an empty file called index.htm in the htdocs folder and it will stop people from browsing the root level but still allow them to view the rest of the sites in the subfolders. Alternatively, why not add a redirector page that forces them onto whatever your default site is...
