If you'd like to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you could enable password protection for a specific folder - either the primary Internet site folder or another one below it. In case this feature is enabled, a pop-up shall appear every time anyone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have secured only the domain.com folder. If the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there's no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be positive that no one will be able to access the shielded content. The feature may be beneficial in a number of scenarios - if only a number of people should be able to see specific files, if you are creating a site and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so forth.
