Easiest Way to Do This...

I was wondering what the easiest way to create a password protected directory within a site is, and how I could go about doing so.

Thanks

If this machine is an Apache server and allows using PHP, there is a free
script that gives you an admin page in this folder to add/edit/delete user's
access.

You could also look inside of your site's Control Panel or CPanel, if you
hosting has that feature.
