If you want to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you are able to enable password protection for a given folder - either the primary site folder or any other one below it. When this function is active, a pop-up shall appear every time anyone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login information shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have protected just the domain.com folder. In case the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that nobody will be able to access the protected content. The feature can be helpful in various scenarios - if only some people need to be able to see particular files, if you are creating a site and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so forth.
