Question for the web developers : How easy is this to do?

[autopilot]

Ok, i am going to sign up for a hosting package soon. One thing i would like to do first is set up an area thats protected so i can store files i don't want to keep public. Basically a password protected folder and subfolders. I have very little experience with web develement and was wondering if it would be fairly easy to do? What would i need to do it with? I don't want do any coding just yet if i can avoid it, would i be able to use Dreamweaver or something? (Maybe even a nice little login screen and the ability to add other user accounts in the future too) Thanks.

I think it's possible editing .htaccess for those folders and any sub-folders of that folder. I've never done it myself though

hi mate, this should do it (.htaccess & .htpasswd)

.htaccess problems, not working!
