Hello, I am having trouble with my .htaccess file. I am using it to protect a directory on my site. I have the .htaccess file place in the directory I would like to protect but when I log on to the index page in that directory on my site I am not being prompted for a username or password. I have the .htpasswd file placed in a directory and I have attached the script in my .htaccess file below. Can somebody help me please?

AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /Direct Download Area/safedir/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user

Thanks
