Hey,
We have a directory on the server thats password protected and we needed to give access to a subdirectory of that folder to everyone (Without having them enter a password). Turns out it is possible to do so using .htaccess
Create a .htaccess file in the subfolder that you want to give full access to with the following content:
AuthType none
Satisfy any
Save and exit. This overrides the password protection of the parent folder and gives anonymous access to the folder.
Thanks to Vinit for the tip.
