Does it mean that webmaster has to edit the file manually? Is there any way which let users to create their own id and password?

assuming that an "aut" file already exists for the domain in question,

it can be edited like so:

 

[/your-directory-name/sub-path/etc]
    username01 = "password1"
    username02 = "password2"
    username03 = "password3"

 

... and so on

 

i don't believe there's any other trickery involved.

Some attempts to block such downloads can only be done in HTML code with the pragma meta tag for NOCHACHE however it doesn't work really well because of how different browsers read the code. 

The best protection from download, is to not put the documents in the public directory at all.
If you need them online for your internal use, try keeping a copy only in a password protected folder and not in the public path.
