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 only one page which is located within a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up where you have to enter a username and also a password. If you type the right ones, you'll be able to continue exploring the content with no need to do anything else. In case the login details aren't accurate, however, you'll see a note that you are not allowed to view the content. If this function is activated, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The option is incredibly practical if you'd like to limit the access to some content or if you work on a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

When you log in to your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll just have to go to the Password Protection section, to select the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that needs to be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type the username and the password which must be used so as to access the content in question. The feature will be turned on straightaway, so in case you attempt to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to input the login info. You may create or remove multiple usernames for the very same folder, if necessary. When you go to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be marked with a compact padlock icon.
