I forgot the question mark on that last sentence:

This is possible with a massive apache with htaccess implementation.
(which I don't want)

But is it also possible with publicfile.?
Can I use something like .htaccess to restrict access to websites and
protect them with usernames and passwords?

With kind regards,
