If you want to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you'll be able to switch on password protection for a specific folder - either the primary Internet site folder or any other one below it. In case this feature is active, a pop-up shall appear each time anyone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login information will be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured just the domain.com folder. In case the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there's no way to get around this restriction, so you can be certain that nobody will be able to access the secured content. The function could be useful in a number of scenarios - if only a few individuals need to be able to see particular files, if you are building a website and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, and so on.

The feature will be turned on right away, so if you try to open the folder/website, you shall be prompted to type in the login information.

If you navigate to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be marked with a small padlock icon.

All secured folders shall feature a small padlock sign in the File Manager section.
