Password Protected Directories
Understand more about password-protected directories as well as what they bring to your web site.
If you'd like to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you could activate password protection for a specific folder - either the main website folder or a different one below it. Whenever this option is activated, a pop-up shall appear every time someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login information will be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have protected just the domain.com folder. When the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way to get around this restriction, so you can be sure that no one shall be able access the protected content. The function could be beneficial in a variety of cases - if only some individuals must be able to see certain files, if you are creating a site and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, and so on.
