If you'd like to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a specific folder - either the main Internet site folder or any other one below it. Whenever this option is enabled, a pop-up shall appear anytime 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 if you have protected only the domain.com folder. When the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there isn't any method of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that no one will be able to access the secured content. The feature could be beneficial in numerous situations - if only a number of individuals must be able to see particular files, if you are creating an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so forth.
