I am using .htaccess for authentication of a folder on the apache server.
httaccess file contains
AuthUserFile D:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\me261\testfolder\.htpasswd
AuthName "uploadFolder"
AuthType Basic
require encrypt
and my .htpasswd file which is one folder above the folder to be authenticated contains
encrypt:29bW2ksvE8LUY
I have to map this drive to use it.The same code works fine on a linux system but has problem with windows.Any help would be much appreciated.
