If you wish to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you can switch on password protection for a specific folder - either the main Internet site folder or another one below it. In case this function is turned on, a pop-up will appear each time a person attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details will be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have secured only the domain.com folder. When the credentials aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that no one shall be able access the secured content. The feature may be helpful in numerous situations - if only a number of people must be able to see particular files, if you are building an Internet site and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, etc.
