A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This could be a whole site or simply one page that is situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up in which you must type in a username as well as a password. In case you input the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content without needing to do anything additional. In case the login details are not correct, however, you'll see a message that you are not authorized to see the content. When this function is activated, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The function is incredibly effective if you need to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting
With the password protection tool that is included with each and every cloud hosting package which we provide, you'll be able to protect any content which you have within your account with simply a few clicks. As the tool is a component of our innovative Hepsia CP, it provides the exact same simple interface and you'll not need any special skills to use it. When you go to the Password Protection section, you'll have to pick one of the domains or subdomains which you have inside the account and then decide if the protection should be activated for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then type in the username and the password that you would like and you shall be ready. A small padlock icon inside the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you will be able to include a number of usernames and passwords for the same folder if you would like several people to have their own login credentials.
