If you want to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you are able to enable password protection for a certain folder - either the main Internet site folder or any other one below it. Whenever this function is turned on, a pop-up will appear every time somebody attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected just the domain.com folder. In case the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there's no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one shall be able access the secured content. The option can be beneficial in numerous scenarios - if only a number of individuals must be able to see particular files, if you are creating a site and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, etc.

You will only have to select the hostname (domain or subdomain), the specific folder that must be secured (the main folder or a subfolder) and the login name and password. The protection shall take effect right away, so if you make an attempt to open the password-protected URL in your browser, you'll have to enter the newly created login details in order to proceed.

Each password-protected folder shall have a little padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you will be able to recognize such folders easily.
