1)
Create a file called htaccess.txt by Notepad which contains
content:
AuthName

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/sites/sitex/web/your_protected_directory/.htpasswd
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit> |
Example: |
Domain Name: example.com
My Protected Directory: memberonly
My Protected Area Name: Member Only |
AuthName
"Member Only"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/sites/sitex/web/memberonly/.htpasswd
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit> |

Then, upload the htaccess.txt to the directory you would like
to protect via FTP, on above example, the directory should be:
memberonly. After that rename the htaccess.txt file name into
.htaccess |

your user name and password. Please use the generator below
to generate your login name and password.

and then upload the file to the protected directory via FTP,
