Require authentication for all but one file in a directory 1

[Gertrude12]

I have a problem that I have been unable to find the answer to anywhere else, so I am hoping someone here will be able to help. My DocumentRoot (/Files) contains 23 sub-directories and 34 files. I have apache configured to require authenticated users on the entire directory; however I would like to allow the general public access to one file (info.htm) without entering a username and password. This is my current configuration:



<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /Files
ServerName Webserver
ServerAdmin Admin

<Directory "/">
allow from all
AllowOverride All
Options +Indexes
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authentication Required"
AuthUserFile /scripts/.htaccess
Require valid-user

</Directory>

</VirtualHost>


I have tried using the <files> directive without luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try using this.

<Files info.htm>
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Files>

I have tried that and didn't have any luck. Thanks for the quick reply!

Any other thoughts?

I forgot a statement. Add this "Satisfy Any".

<Files info.htm>
Satisfy Any
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Files>

Tested and worked on my system.
