I have a website with an UPLOAD folder full of PDF files.
Directory list is disabled but Im not able to enable password to download file
Assuming that the directory abs path is /home/user/server/wp-content/ninja-upload/11/
Ive created in that path 2 files
.htpasswd
admin:qwe3f43?r4
.htaccess
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
<Files ~ "\.(pdf)$">
Deny from all
AuthName "Admins Only"
AuthUserFile /home/user/server/wp-content/ninja-upload/11/.htpasswd
AuthType basic
Require valid-user
</Files>
Didnt works. Ive made a lot of try but any success: when i use direct link
http://website/wp-content/ninja-upload/11/a.pdf
I can read it without asking any pass
EDIT: i'm using siteground as hosting. Is it possible that siteground use diferent tool? because has a protection directory tool (but i need to use htaccess because i need to populate dinamically the htpasswd file each user registration on WP)
