This is easiest done on the server by using a feature - offered by most Hosting services in their cPanel - called Password Protect Directories.

Within that feature you can set up user/password combos for folders. This means that to access any file/page within that folder a user/pass will be required.

There is an action but it is not at all secure and really relies on obfuscation rather than real security. [Password Protected URL - ActionsForge](http://www.actionsforge.com/actions/view/67-password-protected-url)

There is also PHP -PageProtect [PHP -PageProtect - ActionsForge](http://www.actionsforge.com/actions/view/255-php-pageprotect) - haven’t used it but might be worth a go. No idea of how secure it is.
