Hello,

How can I selectively unprotect a directory inside an otherwise
protected structure where I am using .htaccess.

Thanks

If you have shell access to the webserver and the latter is running
some sort of Unix, you could
simlink that directory to a visible directory.

Eg:
ln -s /var/apache/htdocs/protected/unprotected
/var/apache/htdocs/unprotected

The newsreader broke the line. It should be on the same line.
