A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the right login credentials are supplied. This may be an entire site or only one page which is located in a subfolder. If you attempt to open such a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up in which you must input a username as well as a password. If you enter the right ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content with no need to do anything additional. If the login details are not correct, however, you'll see a message that you aren't permitted to see the content. In case this function is active, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is very useful if you wish to limit the access to some content or if you are developing a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.

As the tool is part of our revolutionary Hepsia CP, it features exactly the same simple interface and you shall not need any special skills to use it. As soon as you visit the Password Protection section, you will need to choose one of the domains or subdomains you have in the account and then choose if the protection should be active for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then type the username and the password that you would like and you shall be set. A small padlock icon inside the File Manager section will tell you that a particular folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you will be able to add a number of usernames and passwords for the same folder if you want several people to have their own login credentials.
