Problem installing htpasswd2

Hey everyone!

So as i finished setting up my apache2 server, I wanted to look into some basic authentication for the web page. I found a great guide on apache.org. The problem now is, the htpasswd2 file that i need to create and store users, is in a weird format.

It is displaying as :

htpasswd2.1.gz

Now since I am considered fairly new to linux, im not sure if i need to unzip this file or what to do with it.

Can someone please lend a helping hand? Thanks in advance for your time!

gunzip htpasswd2.1.gz
