I am writing some simple HTML pages. I need to protect some pages and some files (from being downloaded) by requiring a username and password. Does anyone know a simple solution?

I don't know actually. I can connect to the server to upload my files there. Besides that, I don't think that I could have other access to the server. Thank you!– AnandCommented May 10, 2011 at 9:28

First of all find out what sort of webserver you are using by using the method suggested in this question: https://superuser.com/questions/120783/can-i-detect-what-webserver-a-website-is-using
