A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the correct login credentials are offered. This can be a whole Internet site or simply one page that is situated in a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you will see a browser pop-up where you must type a username and a password. In case you type in the right ones, you can continue surfing around the content without the need to do anything more. If the login credentials are not right, however, you shall see a note that you are not authorized to look at the content. In case this feature is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The function is extremely useful if you'd like to prohibit the access to some content or if you work on an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.

Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting

All of our Linux cloud hosting packages include a really useful tool which will allow you to protect any folder within your account from unauthorized access with only 2 mouse clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will just have to go to the Password Protection section, to pick the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that has to be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to input the username and the password that must be used in order to access the content in question. The feature will be turned on right away, so in case you try to open the folder/website, you shall be prompted to type in the login details. You could set up or remove many usernames for the exact same folder, if needed. When you go to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be indicated by a small padlock icon.
