If you wish to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you could switch on password protection for a specific folder - either the main Internet site folder or a different one below it. Whenever this feature is activated, a pop-up shall appear anytime someone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login information will be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have secured just the domain.com folder. When the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that no one will be able to access the secured content. The function could be beneficial in various scenarios - if only a few individuals should be able to see certain files, if you are developing a site and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so on.
