If you'd like to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you can activate password protection for a given folder - either the primary site folder or another one below it. Whenever this option is active, 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 shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have secured just the domain.com folder. When 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 positive that nobody will be able to access the secured content. The function can be helpful in numerous cases - if only a number of people must be able to see specific files, if you are creating an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, etc.
