A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the right login details are supplied. This may be a whole site or only a single page that is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will need to type a username and also a password. If you type the right ones, you can continue exploring the content with no need to do anything else. If the login credentials aren't right, however, you shall see information that you are not permitted to see the content. If this function is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The feature is extremely practical if you'd like to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.

Once you go to the Password Protection section, you'll need to select one of the domains or subdomains you have inside the account and then decide whether the protection should be activated for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then type the username and the password you want and you will be all set to go. A small padlock icon inside the File Manager section will tell you that a particular folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you will be able to include several usernames and passwords for the same folder if you want several people to have their own login credentials.
