genzai is an unknown quantity at this point
having a new issue

Hi, that solution is still working great, but i have another unrelated question also about htaccess. I read in the tutorial that the htaccess file will apply itself to all subfolders by default. However it also says that if you put a different htaccess file into a subfolder, that it is this htaccess file that should take priority (within that subfolder).

I have a folder called 'media' which is password protected using htaccess. this is working fine. however, i am puting some subfolders into the 'media' folder which i dont want password protected at all. For these folders i have put a new htaccess file into them without the code requiring authorization. however when i try to access these folders i still am prompted for a password based on the htaccess file in the 'media' folder.
What am i doing wrong?

Thanks again
