FTP, .htaccess question

[msingle]

Hi all,

I've got a question that I'm not sure what the answer is.

I've got a folder protected with .htaccess on my site. The protection works if the folder is accessed with a browser. However, if I connect with an FTP client, there is no extra password information required and I can delete, add, etc. to that folder.

I'm sure there's an easy answer and I probably already know it but I've been having a hard time figuring it out for sure.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi msingle,

Have a look at this site: http://apache-server.com/tutorials/ATusing-htaccess.html

.htaccess only configures http access. It has no effect on mail or ftp access.

Thanks for the both of you for the replies.

Thanks Mike for clearing that up. I suspected that may be the case because no other reason made sense.
