There's a web site at:

It walks you thru the various scenarios to do this.

I think you have to create the username and password through telnet.
Upload a blank .htpasswd file, and then try this via telnet to your server:

For the first user, try this command (make sure the paths are correct for your system):

/usr/sbin/htpasswd -c /home/jamesm/.htpasswd

To add additional users, use this:

/usr/sbin/htpasswd /home/jamesm/.htpasswd

Hopefully that will get it working for you.
