If you wish to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you can enable password protection for a given folder - either the primary Internet site folder or another one below it. If this option is active, a pop-up shall appear every time a person tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have protected just the domain.com folder. If the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way to get around this restriction, so you can be positive that nobody shall be able access the secured content. The feature can be beneficial in various scenarios - if only some people should be able to see specific files, if you are creating a website and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, etc.
