A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the proper login details are supplied. This may be an entire website or just one page that's located within a subfolder. If you try to open this kind of a directory, you'll see a web browser pop-up where you must input a username and also a password. In case you input the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue exploring the content without having to do anything extra. If the login details are not accurate, however, you'll see information that you aren't allowed to look at the content. When this option is active, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is very handy if you wish 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 before it is ready.

Since the tool is an element of our revolutionary Hepsia CP, it offers the exact same simple interface and you'll not need any special skills to use it. Once you visit the Password Protection section, you'll have to select one of the domains or subdomains which you have within the account and then decide if the protection should be activated for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then enter the username and the password that you'd like and you shall be ready. A little padlock icon in the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the very same way you will be able to include several usernames and passwords for the same folder if you'd like several people to have their own login credentials.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Securing any folder with a password will be easy if you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company.
