is not exatly what i ment

i know i protect with .htaccess

but if in a normal sttructure i can have

/publicwebsite
/cms
/common
/images

and i would put my .htaccess in the /cms directory

in a MVC structur where do you put the .haccess?

let say i create a CMS and i want to password protect by .htaccess
where would i put it?

in the directory
/application/viewers/cms/
?
