Configuring for folder browsing, and securing folder

I have a development server that I need to configure apache to allow me
to browse that particular folder structure on, I would also like to
secure it so that it ask me, or anyone else to identify with a valid
local system name/pw pair. Under IIS this is simple but I have no idea
how to do this for apache.


thanks in advance
Jon

I guess you mean online browsing of the directory. This can be done by
putting a .htaccess file in that directory.
