Web and Files:Password File Location for Secure Folder

If you have created a secure folder using your control panel and need to find out the path to the password.
You can open the hidden .htaccess file in your protected folder to check for this. The file is hidden normally
so you need to either:
Open the folder using File Manager from your control panel
Using an FTP Program you can select Manual Get and enter .htaccess
Telenet to your account and type the command "cat .htaccess" in your secure folder.

When displayed you will see something like the following:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Members Area"
AuthUserFile "/home/YourUserName/PATH/.htpasswd"
require valid-user

======================================

AuthUserFile Contains the path to your password file.
