    How would I password protect a downloadable file?

    Besides, the .htaccess solution to protect a folder is there any other solution?

    If you are using php then use login script to restrict particular link or page

    You can use the <FILES> directive to block access also to specific files:
    <Files ~ "^somefile.ext">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    </Files>
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#files

    HTH, cheers! :)
