If you wish to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to activate password protection for a given folder - either the primary Internet site folder or a different one below it. Whenever this option is activated, a pop-up will appear anytime someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have protected the domain.com folder. In case the credentials aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any method of getting around this restriction, so you can be positive that no one shall be able access the protected content. The function may be useful in a variety of situations - if only certain people must be able to see certain files, if you are developing an Internet site and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so on.
Password Protected Directories in Hosting
If you use any of our hosting solutions, you shall be able to set up password-protected areas easily even if you have no experience with this type of matters. We have included a very easy-to-use point-and-click tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts, so you'll be able to secure any folder within just a few seconds. You will only have to select a domain or a subdomain and the particular folder that must be protected (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to type the preferred username and password that will be used to access the folder in question when you need it. Each and every secured folder shall have padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you shall be able to see instantly what content is secured and what is not. When necessary, you can make several different sets of login credentials for precisely the same folder.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to shield any content you have uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it's part of, so you shall not have to type in any code at any time. You'll only need to select one of the domains/subdomains you have inside the website hosting account and to choose which folder needs to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. Then you can type the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you'll be good to go. The protection shall be activated right away, so anyone who attempts to access the recently protected folder will have to input the right login details. If several individuals must be able to open exactly the same content, you can create a separate username for each of them.
