What does htpasswd do?..

Answer / jimmy

what kind answer are these?
you guys just make a guest?

htpasswd is used to create and update the flat-files used
to store usernames and password for basic authentication of
HTTP users. If htpasswd
cannot access a file, such as not being able to write
to the output file or not being able to read the file in
order to update it, it returns
an error status and makes no changes.

htpasswd is used for allowing user to authenticate for a
particular web page. such as you are running 2 or more web
pages through virtual hosting or any other method and want
to provide access for any user to access a particular page
with authentication then you can use the htpasswd for
creating user authentication file. when you run the command
htpasswd with the option -c and -m for any user it will
create a file named htpasswd in which an entry for user name
