If you'd like to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you are able to enable password protection for a particular folder - either the main Internet site folder or another one below it. When this feature is turned on, a pop-up shall appear each time somebody tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login information shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have secured only the domain.com folder. In case the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be positive that nobody will be able to access the shielded content. The option can be useful in numerous scenarios - if only some people should be able to see specific files, if you are developing an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, and so forth.
