    .htaccess takes effect on the same dir and every dir under it, think about it

    What nybble means is that you can copy an .htaccess file into each directory you want to protect. Put your accessable directory into your /public_html dir, and leave the .htaccess file out of it. You won't be able put .htaccess into your root or public dir, either. One file will protect the dir it's in and any sub dirs as well.
