htaccess assistance please :)

[eluser]Bondie[/eluser]
Basically I want to password protect all my directories, with the exception of 2 directories, this includes i want all my pages from CI protected to, eg;

www.mysite.com/welcome (default view)

Here is my .htaccess in my public_html folder, at the moment

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt|craig-knight|rick)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

AuthUserFile "/home/my_user/.htpasswds/public_html/passwd"
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Recognise this?"

I know I can password all the contents just by using

Code:

Require valid-user

or just the one page with

Code:

<Files "index.php">
  Require valid-user
</Files>

so how do I password all but just allow 2 folders through;

www.mysite.com/craig-knight
-and-
www.mysite.com/rick

if anyone could help, my google skills failed

I'd suggest adding an htaccess file within each of the directories you want passworded.

They're not directories, there dynamic urls produced by htaccess, default CI htaccess...

www.example.com/welcome -> is really -> www.example.com/index.php/welcome
