Whenever this function is turned on, a pop-up shall appear each and every time someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have secured the domain.com folder. In case the credentials aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there's no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be positive that nobody shall be able access the shielded content. The feature may be helpful in numerous cases - if only a number of people must be able to see specific files, if you work on a site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, and so on.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Web Hosting
Setting up a password-protected area will take just a few mouse clicks and a few seconds when you host your websites in a shared web hosting account with us. You'll not need to do anything complex - you will have to pick a domain/subdomain, to select which folder under it must be secured, and then to input the login name and password that will be used to access that folder. If a number of people need their own login details, there shall not be a problem to set up a number of different usernames with access to the exact same folder. All protected folders will appear with a padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you will always know where this function is activated. If you want to disable the protection feature for any folder, you can disable it from the same exact section of the Control Panel where you have enabled it.

The protection shall take effect immediately, so if you make an attempt to open the password-protected URL inside your browser, you will need to type the newly created login details in order to proceed. Additionally, you'll be able to give different usernames for the very same folder to a number of individuals, so you will not have to share the same login details with anybody. Each password-protected folder shall have a small padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you will be able to recognize this sort of folders with ease.
