I know that I would use htpasswd.exe, however the only instructions I can find are for Unix servers rather than Windows. I need users in my local network to access my server, but no outsiders. A link or anything would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure about htpasswd.exe, but .htaccess and .htpasswd in the dir that is wanted to protect.
Hope this help

I have Unix instructions that read as follows:

After creating a text file with Users and Passwords execute htpasswd.exe
htpasswd -c /usr/local/etc/httpd/users John_Doe

I don't know how to do this in Windows.

He...he... the link is so detail and so good for beginner like me, so here is the "instant noodle" setup, and make sure to name them as .htaccess and .htpasswd, not as htaccess.txt or anything else.

// file .htaccess
AuthUserFile C:/wamp/www/your_private_folder/.htpasswd
AuthName "Private Area"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

// file .htpasswd
testuser:testpassword

Then, when getting a popup ask for authentication, just enter username is "testuser" and password is "testpassword", of course w/o quote.

Configure more, base on the detail on the link, to meet your desire.

Hope this help
