A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the proper login details are supplied. This can be an entire Internet site or simply one page that's located within a subfolder. If you try to open this kind of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up where you have to enter a username as well as a password. In case you input the correct ones, you can continue browsing the content without needing to do anything additional. When the login credentials are not correct, however, you will see a note that you aren't authorized to see the content. When this option is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is incredibly practical if you'd like to prohibit the access to some content or if you work on a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Cloud Web Hosting

If you use any of our cloud web hosting packages, you'll be able to create password-protected areas with ease even if you don't have any experience with this sort of matters. We have included a really easy-to-use point-and-click tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all accounts, so you shall be able to protect any folder within just seconds. You'll simply have to choose a domain or a subdomain and the specific folder that should be protected (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to type the username and password that will be used to access the folder in question when you need it. Each and every protected folder will have a padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you will be able to see at a glance what content is secured and what is not. If necessary, you may create a number of sets of login details for precisely the same folder.
