If you wish to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you can activate password protection for a particular folder - either the main website folder or a different one below it. If this feature is active, a pop-up shall appear every time a person attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have protected just the domain.com folder. When the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that no one shall be able access the secured content. The option may be useful in numerous scenarios - if only certain individuals must be able to see particular files, if you are creating a site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, etc.

Each and every secured folder will have a padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you'll be able to see instantly what content is protected and what's not. If necessary, you may create a number of sets of login credentials for the same folder.

You will also see two boxes where you will have to type in the login name and the password that'll be necessary to access the folder in question and you shall be all set to go.
