If you wish to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you can activate password protection for a given folder - either the primary site folder or a different one below it. If this feature is active, a pop-up shall appear each and every time a person tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have secured just the domain.com folder. If the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that no one will be able to access the protected content. The feature could be beneficial in a number of situations - if only a number of people should be able to see certain files, if you work on a site and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, etc.
