With .htaccess you may protect the whole directory with password:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /path/to/passwords/file/passwords
Require user myuser

htpasswd -c /path/to/passwords/file/passwords myuserYou may complete description with good examples in Apache docs.
