If you wish to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to switch on password protection for a specific folder - either the main site folder or a different one below it. If this feature is active, a pop-up shall appear each and every time somebody attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details will be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have secured just the domain.com folder. If the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one will be able to access the shielded content. The option could be useful in a variety of cases - if only certain individuals should be able to see certain files, if you are creating a website and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, etc.
