I have a directory on a webserver that I want to have prompt for username and password when someone tries to access it. I am unix newbie, so don't assume I know any commands already.


Thanks in advance

You need to create a .htaccess file in the directory. This tells the server how to control access to the files.

A fairly comprehensive discussion of the .htacess file can be found at:
