A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the right login details are offered. This can be an entire site or only a single page which is located within a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you'll see a web browser pop-up in which you must type a username as well as a password. If you type the correct ones, you can continue exploring the content without needing to do anything additional. If the login credentials are not right, however, you shall see a note that you are not permitted to view the content. In case this function is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is very practical if you want to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
Password Protected Directories in Website Hosting
With the password protection tool provided with each website hosting package deal that we offer, you'll be able to secure any content that you have in your account with simply a few clicks. Because the tool is a component of our ground breaking Hepsia Control Panel, it features the exact same simple interface and you will not require any special skills to use it. As soon as you navigate to the Password Protection section, you will have to choose one of the domains or subdomains which you have in the account and then choose if the protection should be switched on for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you want and you'll be all set. A little padlock icon in the File Manager section will tell you that a specific folder is password-protected. In the same way you shall be able to include multiple usernames and passwords for the same folder if you would like several people to have their own login credentials.
