If you wish to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you could enable password protection for a particular folder - either the primary site folder or another one below it. If this feature is enabled, a pop-up will appear anytime a person attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info will be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have protected just the domain.com folder. When the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one will be able to access the secured content. The feature may be beneficial in various scenarios - if only a few individuals must be able to see certain files, if you work on an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, and so on.
