.htaccess-Files

Intention of Animation 5.4-1 is to help you understand how .htaccess files can be used to restrict access to certain directories.

The applet is subdivided into three windows:

  • The main window contains the directory structure,

  • the legend is displayed in the upper right part and

  • the third window contains the content of a certain .htaccess file.

To create a .htaccess file proceed as follows:

  • Select the directory you want to protect,

  • press the buttons "create" and "edit" to generate the required .htaccess file.

  • Finally, select the users who should have access to the directory and press the button "close edit".

The main window is now updated, indication which user has access to which directories.
