Password Protected Directories
What are password-protected directories? What do they indicate for your Internet site?
If you would like keep some content hidden from the public eye, you are able to activate password protection for a specific folder - either the main Internet site folder or a different one below it. Whenever this option is turned on, a pop-up shall appear anytime anyone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login information will be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected the domain.com folder. If the credentials aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can be positive that no one shall be able access the protected content. The feature can be beneficial in various cases - if only a few individuals should be able to see specific files, if you are developing an Internet site and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, etc.
