installing .htpasswd file

I cannot access my /home/content/44/xxxxxxx/html path to install it. Any suggestions

@marc_j,
You’d want to make sure that you are using the correct absolute hosting path for the .htaccess file to set up the .htpasswd file:
Using .htpasswd with Your Linux Shared Hosting Account

Hope that helps.

OK, /home/content/44/xxxxxxx/html is where the index.html file is at. Not good practice to park .htpasswd there too.
And without knowing how password is being decoded by how can I generate a password for the ..htpasswd anyway. Godaddy needs to add this service as a part of their hosting

From what I’ve tested I can tell you that, at the very least, DES or MD5 works on GoDaddy for password encryption

Thanks for following up on this thread with this information. I’m sure other users will find this useful when working with .htpasswd files.
