If you wish to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you can switch on password protection for a given folder - either the primary website folder or another one below it. Whenever this option is enabled, a pop-up shall appear anytime a person 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 protected just the domain.com folder. When 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 certain that nobody will be able to access the protected content. The feature can be useful in numerous situations - if only certain individuals need to be able to see particular files, if you work on an Internet site and you do not want people to see it before it is completed, and so on.
