I’m trying to put my directories behind a htpasswd file, but allow any user to access the files in said directory.
So far I have this
location ~ ^/files\/.*(?=\.)$ {
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /media/sdh1/home/qwertyspace/www/qwertyspace.zeus/public_html/files/.htpasswd;
autoindex on;
}
#allow retrieval of any individual image via URL without auth
location ~* \..*$ {
autoindex off;
}
Based off this: https://serverfault.com/questions/574348/how-can-i-password-protect-a-directory-with-nginx-but-not-the-files-within-the
But it still asks for a password when trying to download a file.
