If you'd like to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a particular folder - either the primary website folder or any other one below it. Whenever this option is turned on, a pop-up shall appear every time somebody attempts 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 in case you have secured only the domain.com folder. When the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that no one will be able to access the protected content. The feature could be beneficial in numerous cases - if only a number of individuals should be able to see specific files, if you are developing a website and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so forth.
