hmmnn you want a windows popup box to ask for a username and password? you would have to create a password protected directory and have an index page inside that with the linkson them, then the user can download asmuch as they want while they are inside it.

have you looked in to using .htaccess and .htpasswd files?

that will help you with htacess now this might help with .htpasswd

This is my .htaccess file but for somew reason when it prompts for authentication although i have configured .htpasswd is doesnt validate me!
And yes i have placed it correctly /home/nik/public_html/

AuthUserFile /home/nik/public_html/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Πνευματικά Κείμενα"
AuthType Basic

require user nikos
require user nagia

Thanks!
