Password protecting an area of a site

[grubesteak]

Is there an easy way to password protect one page of a site, or do I need a whole bunch of scripting options?

Thanks.

I think you would need a server side language for that... then again I'm not too sure

have you tried .htaccess?

I'm not that familiar with .htaccess, but I recognize its power. Got a recommendation?
