If you wish to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a particular folder - either the main site folder or another one below it. If this option is active, a pop-up will appear anytime somebody tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured just the domain.com folder. If the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that no one will be able to access the protected content. The function can be useful in numerous cases - if only a number of individuals need to be able to see particular files, if you are creating an Internet site and you do not want people to see it before it is completed, etc.
