Take the tour ×  I have an Apache webserver, and in the Apache
configuration, I have  Alias /backups "/backups" <Directory
"/backups">     AllowOverride None     Options Indexes     Order
allow,deny     Allow from all  I can access files via The
problem is everyone can access that.  I have a web interface,
e.g. http://localhost/adminm that is protected with htaccess and
password.  Now I don't want separate .htaccess and .htpasswd for
/backups, and I don't want a second password prompt when a user
clicks on /backups in the web interface. Is there any way to use
same .htaccess and .htpasswd for the backups directory?

your question. Since your users are accessing the files through
a web interface, the access control is performed by Apache, not
Linux. –  Gilles May 21 '11 at 15:52 add comment  migrated from
