A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the right login details are supplied. This may be a whole Internet site or just a single page that is located within a subfolder. If you attempt to open such a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will need to type in a username and also a password. If you input the appropriate ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content with no need to do anything more. In case the login details are not accurate, however, you shall see information that you aren't permitted to see the content. In case this option is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The option is incredibly effective if you'd like to prohibit the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting

All of our cloud hosting include a really handy tool which will enable you to shield any folder in your account from unauthorized access with only two clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia website hosting CP, you will only have to go to the Password Protection section, to choose the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that should be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to enter the username and the password that have to be used to access the content in question. The feature will be active straightaway, so in case you make an effort to open the folder/website, you shall be prompted to enter the login details. You could create or remove numerous usernames for the same folder, when necessary. When you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be marked with a small padlock icon.
