A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This could be an entire site or only a single page which is located in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up where you will have to type a username and also a password. In case you type in the right ones, you can continue browsing the content with no need to do anything more. If the login credentials are not correct, however, you'll see information that you are not permitted to view the content. If this feature is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The feature is extremely effective if you need 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 prior to it being ready.
Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting
All of our Linux cloud packages include a very useful tool that will enable you to protect any folder in your account from unauthorized access with only two mouse clicks. Once you log in to your Hepsia hosting CP, you'll just have to navigate to the Password Protection section, to select the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that has to be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type the username and the password that have to be used to access the content in question. The feature shall be activated instantly, so if you make an effort to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to input the login details. You can create or remove a number of usernames for the exact same folder, when necessary. If you navigate to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be shown with a little padlock icon.
