Password Protected Directories
See how to make a secure and user-only area in your web site with password-protected directories.
A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the proper login credentials are supplied. This can be an entire Internet site or just a single page that's located in a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will need to type in a username as well as a password. In case you enter the correct ones, you can continue surfing around the content without having to do anything more. In case the login credentials are not right, however, you shall see a message that you aren't authorized to look at the content. When this function is active, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is very handy if you need to limit the access to some content or if you are creating a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting
With the password protection tool that comes with each and every cloud hosting package deal that we offer, you will be able to shield any content which you have inside your account with simply a few mouse clicks. As the tool is a component of our innovative Hepsia Control Panel, it provides the exact same simple interface and you shall not need any special skills to use it. Once you visit the Password Protection section, you'll need to select one of the domains or subdomains which you have in the account and then decide if the protection should be active for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you want and you will be all set to go. A tiny padlock icon in the File Manager section will tell you that a particular folder is password-protected. In the same way you will be able to include many usernames and passwords for the same folder if you would like several people to have their own login credentials.
