A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the right login details are supplied. This could be a whole Internet site or just a single page that is situated in a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up where you will have to input a username and also a password. In case you type the appropriate ones, you can continue surfing around the content without needing to do anything else. When the login details are not accurate, however, you'll see information that you aren't allowed to look at the content. When this feature is activated, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The feature is incredibly handy if you want to limit the access to some content or if you are developing a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Website Hosting

All of our website hosting include an incredibly useful tool that'll enable you to secure any folder in your account from unauthorized access with only 2 mouse clicks. As soon as you log in to your Hepsia hosting CP, you'll just have to go to the Password Protection section, to pick the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that needs to be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to enter the username and the password which have to be used in order to access the content in question. The function will be active straightaway, so if you attempt to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to enter the login information. You can create or remove many usernames for the same folder, if necessary. If you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be indicated by a small padlock icon.
