Help with .htaccess

[Evil Chris]

Can someone provide me with enough info to create an .htaccess file that is intended to simply password protect a single directory?
I'm a bit lost here... Thanks!

AuthUserFile /home/paysites/mysite.com/password/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName Members
AuthType Basic


require valid-user


then you jsut need to add passwds tot he file called .htpasswd


u cna use the commant htpasswd from a unix promtp to do this

A friend of mine has this little CGI build here. I guess that's all you'll need:
