server configuration > Advanced > User & Groups > Users > Add > (Create a user) > OK > OK > Access Control > Virtual Path (If your images are located in their own folder direct off the root (htdocs) then enter "/foldername" in virtual path) Enter something descriptive in the Realm field and select the user to whom to allow access to and click OK...
Restart the server and type into your browser address field the URL to get to the images... It should now be protected :) |
