To access a file in a protected folder on Apache/Linux platform, user
name and password are required.

Question: is the password encrypted during transmission in this case ?

Thanks.

If it's "basic authentication", then the password is "encrypted" using
base64, which effectively means it's not encrypted.

However, if you are connectiong to a https: connection, it should be encrypted.
