htaccess issue

I have a password set for all the directories named "testdir" on my server. I need to allow one of them to be without a password. How can I do that?

 

Please clarify "allow". Do you want to remove the password from that particular folder or by allow you mean the search engines??

 

I want to remove the htaccess.

I have many wordpress installs in my hosting account and I added password protect on the wp-admin folders.

<FilesMatch "wp-login.php">
AuthName "Authorized Only"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/user/.wpadmin
require valid-user
</FilesMatch>

..now, site1.com/wp-admin is okay to be protected but I have users on my other wp and they cannot login or out with that password protection on. I need to disable it for that specific site.

[edit] actually, the wp-login.php files are protected...

 

You can disable the password protection for a specific directory by creating a .htaccess file in that directory, containing the following line:

RewriteEngine off

 

Yes... but it is wordpress, so I need htaccess..

 

sorry for if I'm hijacking your thread, as per my knowledge htaccess is not working with nginx web server. so how you guys do htaccess things in nginx server or is this thread in wrong section ?? :/
