All you need to do is put a .htaccess file on the server.

Password protecting your web pages
The Apache server supports the htaccess password mechanism. It is possible, by placing a rules file called .htaccess in a directory, to force a user to enter a user name and password pair before they can access the files in that directory. These details are checked against an .htpasswd file, the location of which is indicated in the rules file. No intervention by Demon is required to set up such a system, although some familiarity with htaccess is necessary. Some examples have been prepared to help you get started:
Allowing Password Access for Individual Users
Allowing Password Access for Groups of Users
Please bear in mind that Demon will not be able to give specific support on the setup for a particular site, there are just too many possible configurations. However further detailed information and generic examples are available from the NCSA site.
This would probably even work on the NTL free space.
