A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the proper login details are provided. This can be a whole site or simply one page that's in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you'll see a web browser pop-up in which you will have to type a username and also a password. If you type the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content with no need to do anything extra. If the login details are not right, however, you will see a note that you aren't permitted to look at the content. When this feature is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The feature is incredibly practical 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 prior to it being ready.
Password Protected Directories in Hosting
When you use any of our hosting packages, you can set up password-protected areas easily even if you have no experience with this type of matters. We have included an incredibly easy-to-use point-and-click tool within the Hepsia CP, provided with all accounts, so you'll be able to protect any folder within just seconds. You'll simply have to pick a domain or a subdomain and the exact folder that must be secured (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to enter the preferred username and password which will be used to access the folder in question later on. Each protected folder shall have padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you will be able to see instantly what content is secured and what is not. If necessary, you can make a number of sets of login details for the exact same folder.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to protect any content you have uploaded by using our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's a part of, so you'll not need to type in any code at any time. You'll simply need to choose one of the domains/subdomains you have inside the hosting account and to pick which folder should be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You can then type in the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be good to go. The protection shall be activated at once, so anybody who attempts to access the freshly secured folder shall have to enter the right login info. In cases where various individuals must be able to access the exact same content, you could make a separate username for each one.
