Password protection
I have used Password protection on a directory on my apache Linux server ( set through Cpanel frontend) website to stop robots accessing the directory. I want to include a hyperlink on the main page that includes the userid and password .
Can any one help in telling me how to do this?

Do you mean you want people to click on a link and be able to view a secure page?

If you do that robots will be able to follow that link and see that content. I think that would defeat the purpose of blocking that directory with .htaccess.
