Hi!

Google for "htaccess htpasswd". With that you can put a password restriction on directories.

I know htaccess an htpassword but Iwould like a plugin do that .

Because it'll be more easier for my users.

So if there insn't a plugin , I'll go to make an ht acces for some catégory.
Thank you for you help.

Hi!

There's no plugin to write htaccess files. Password protection is hard, otherwise, because files would be needed to be access through a wrapper.

The s9y media gallery however can be protected using the login of authors and assigning read priviliges for specific folders...however, I finmd that more difficult to setup than using htacces :)

Garvin
