I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am trying to password protect a pdf file that is in the /files/download folder. This is where VSD placed this folder. Users reach it by clicking on a link at the bottom of my home page. For some reason when I try to protect it with WAM, it creates a duplicate of that file and adds a second .htaccess file to that folder. Sometimes after uploading to server, the check mark next to the user who is supposed to have access is removed after uploading to the server. Please see attachments. I am really using this as a test for another website that I plan to have about 300 users, but I can't even get it to work with this simple test. Help please.
