Restrict Access Using Htaccess on Windows
Filed in: Web Development — February 1st, 2005
I wrote a simple web application for stock management to be used inside the company(by only a staff). I got a request to implement password protection to the system.
I do not want to modify database and modify the codes(and I am lazy 
). So, the fastest way is to use .htaccess file to restrict access to the web directory.
However, Microsoft Windows does not support filename starts with a ‘dot’. How do we implement the .htaccess?!
I found a very good tutorial(with DETAILS explaination) for Apache .htaccess Authentication.
After reading the tutorial, the web system implemented password protection in just 5 minutes! 
Thought:
Though Apache web server configuration file is plain text file, but it is VERY powerful if you dig it down.

I have been writing .htaccess on Windows XP Notepad.
In fact, I’ve just tested and it still works.

According to the link in the post, the author said Windows XP support filename with “dot” infront. However, it does not work for me.

Did you get system error? Hmm.Strange. Normally what I do is that after saving from a notepad, it would become .htaccess.txt
I would then rename it to .htaccess manually.

the trick is choose “All files in the” file type or save as with the quote “.htaccess”

Thanks for the tip, farking! Found that we cannot rename a file to .htaccess, but “Save as…” works.
