If you would like keep some content concealed from the public eye, you can activate password protection for a particular folder - either the primary website folder or any other one below it. If this function is active, a pop-up shall appear each time somebody tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login information will be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured just the domain.com folder. When the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that nobody will be able to access the shielded content. The feature can be useful in numerous situations - if only a number of people should be able to see certain files, if you are building a site and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, etc.
