.htaccess password protect directory but allow image file types

Tags:

.htaccess

I need to password protect a directory with .htaccess, which I have successfully done. But the front end of the website was programmed to link to images within this password protected directory (not by me), but when a webpage tries to access those images it prompts the user to login.

Is it possible to password protect that directory, but allow any access to any image file type like *.jpg and *.gif?

My current .htaccess code is this:

AuthName "Secure Area"
AuthUserFile "/home/siteuser/.htpasswds/public_html/admin/passwd"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

Thanks for any help!
