[axxs-sysadmin] Solved: .htaccess & .htpasswd

[aketus]

Only temporary where it was, yes, but I'm transferring all the data to
the other domain so will need it set up again long-term. If there's a
better way to do it, maybe you could hop onto IRC tonight (I'll be on
prior to 6pm and after 9pm) and talk me through it if you get a chance.

Cheers Davo
