Password Protected Directories
Discover how to make a secure and user-only area in your web site with password-protected directories.
If you want to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a particular folder - either the main site folder or a different one below it. If this feature 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 information will be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have protected the domain.com folder. If the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one shall be able access the secured content. The feature could be beneficial in various scenarios - if only certain individuals need to be able to see specific files, if you are developing a site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, and so forth.
