If you would like keep some content concealed from the public eye, you could activate password protection for a given folder - either the primary Internet site folder or a different one below it. In case this function is enabled, a pop-up will appear every time somebody attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected just the domain.com folder. If the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that nobody will be able to access the shielded content. The function may be useful in numerous scenarios - if only a few individuals need to be able to see certain files, if you work on an Internet site and you do not want people to see it before it is completed, and so on.
