I have a server where I have a few tester sites in a folder.
Hence all of those tester sites are in mysites folder.
What I am hoping is that no one accessing my site is able to go to
www.example.com/mysite/www.example.com/mysite/site1www.example.com/mysite/site2I want everything under www.example.com/mysite/ to be password protected. Is it possible?
Maybe through .htaccess?
Yes, you can use .htaccess to do that.
There is an answer on how to use it here :https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5229656/password-protecting-a-directory-and-all-of-its-subfolders-using-htaccess
A .htaccess is recursive by default:
.htaccess files (or "distributed configuration files") provide a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. A file, containing one or more configuration directives, is placed in a particular document directory, and the directives apply to that directory, and all subdirectories thereof.
Just place your .htaccess to mysite directory and use the authentication example.
