If you'd like to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you could activate password protection for a particular folder - either the primary website folder or another one below it. In case this function is active, a pop-up shall appear each and every time someone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have secured just the domain.com folder. In case the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that no one will be able to access the secured content. The function could be useful in various cases - if only some individuals must be able to see certain files, if you are creating a site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, etc.
