If you'd like to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to switch on password protection for a specific folder - either the main Internet site folder or any other one below it. Whenever this feature is turned on, a pop-up shall appear every time somebody tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login information shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have protected only the domain.com folder. In case the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there's no way to get around this restriction, so you can be sure that no one will be able to access the secured content. The feature can be useful in a number of situations - if only some individuals must be able to see certain files, if you work on an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so on.
