If you wish to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you could activate password protection for a given folder - either the primary Internet site folder or any other one below it. In case this function is active, a pop-up shall appear each time a person tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details will be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have secured just the domain.com folder. When the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there isn't any method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that nobody will be able to access the protected content. The option may be beneficial in a number of scenarios - if only certain people need to be able to see specific files, if you work on a website and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, and so forth.
