If you would like keep some content concealed from the public eye, you are able to enable password protection for a given folder - either the main site folder or a different one below it. If this option is activated, a pop-up will appear every time a person attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info will be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have secured the domain.com folder. In case the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way to get around this restriction, so you can be positive that no one will be able to access the secured content. The option may be helpful in numerous cases - if only a few individuals should be able to see particular files, if you are developing a site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, etc.
