If you'd like to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you are able to enable password protection for a given folder - either the main site folder or a different one below it. Whenever this function is activated, a pop-up shall appear each and every time a person attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login info will be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have protected just the domain.com folder. If the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one will be able to access the shielded content. The feature could be helpful in numerous scenarios - if only a number of individuals need to be able to see certain files, if you are developing a website and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, and so forth.
