title: Exclude one folder in htaccess protected directory
body: <p>I have a directory protected by htaccess. Here is the code I use now:</p>
  
  <pre><code>AuthName "Test Area"
  Require valid-user
  AuthUserFile "/***/.htpasswd"
  AuthType basic
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is working fine. However, I now have a directory inside of this folder that I would like to allow anyone to access, but am not sure how to do it.</p>
  
  <p>I know that it is possible to just move the files outside of the protected directory, but to make a long story short the folder needs to stay inside the protected folder, but be accessible to all.</p>
  
  <p>How can I restrict access to the folder, but allow access to the subfolder?</p>
