Answer 1

First you need to create the htpasswd file in your home directory using the htpasswd command. SSH into your directory and enter:

htpasswd -c .htpasswd userone

Enter password for userone twice.

For multiple users, repeat the command without the -c

htpasswd .htpasswd membertwo

Thats all.
