would be more helpful if you told us what you did to protect it.

ur doing it through a htaccess file aren't u?

'cos this type of box can also be pop-ed up using PHP.

But its probably as secure as your gonna get it, without giving the user, say 3 attempts ONLY per set ammount of time so that hackers can't brute force attack the login script.

You can protect the folder in chmod permission like /images that people cannot access it, it'll say forbidden

An example of what Pixeltiger is talking about, in shell you can do:
chmod -R 750 images
This will allow the owner of the folder (you) to read/write/execute, while the rest of the world cannot (IE through a web browser)
