A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the proper login credentials are offered. This can be a whole Internet site or just one page that is located within a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up in which you have to type in a username and also a password. If you input the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content with no need to do anything extra. When the login credentials are not accurate, however, you'll see a note that you are not allowed to view the content. When this feature is activated, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The option is very useful if you'd like to restrict the access to some content or if you work on a site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting
When you use any of our shared hosting products, you will be able to make password-protected areas with ease even if you have no experience with such matters. We have included a really easy-to-use point-and-click tool in the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts, so you'll be able to shield any folder within merely seconds. You'll simply have to pick a domain or a subdomain and the particular folder which has to be protected (the main one or a subfolder), and then to enter the username and password that'll be used to access the folder in question at some point. Each and every protected folder shall have padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you will be able to see immediately what content is protected and what is not. If required, you may create a number of sets of login details for exactly the same folder.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll be able to protect any content that you've uploaded by using our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's part of, so you will not need to enter any code at any time. You'll simply have to pick one of the domains/subdomains which you have inside the website hosting account and to select which folder must be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You can then type in the username and the password, that will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you will be good to go. The protection shall be turned on immediately, so anyone that tries to access the newly secured folder shall have to type in the right login details. If a number of people should be able to open precisely the same content, you could set up a separate username for each.
