I am running an Apache web server on Linux. I have password protected one of the directories of the web server using .htaccess. This way the browser prompts me to log in with username and password if I want to access a URL in this directory. Once logged in I can access files in that directory for 24 hours until I am prompted to log in again.
How can I change the timeout so that my login is permanently stored (in a cookie?) or at least reduce the frequency of required log ins from daily to once a month? Thanks.
