If you wish to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you can activate password protection for a given folder - either the main site folder or a different one below it. If this option is turned on, a pop-up shall appear every time someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login details will be needed 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 shall appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be positive that no one shall be able access the secured content. The option can be helpful in a variety of situations - if only some people should be able to see particular files, if you work on an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so forth.
