is there any way to password protect my webserver folder so that upon visiting it on the web, someone would have to enter a password to open the page?
alternatively, is it possible to protect a particular folder within my webserver?
thanks

Yes, the apache mod_auth plugin supports it using .htaccess and .htpasswd files.

If you're not a UNIX geek, try this:
