A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login details are offered. This may be a whole website or just one page that's situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you will see a browser pop-up in which you will need to type a username as well as a password. In case you input the appropriate ones, you can continue exploring the content without the need to do anything else. If the login credentials aren't right, however, you shall see a message that you are not allowed to see the content. When this feature is active, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The feature is quite handy if you want to limit the access to some content or if you are developing a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting
If you use any of our cloud hosting plans, you shall be able to make password-protected areas with ease even if you don't have any experience with such matters. We've built in a really easy-to-use point-and-click tool into the Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with all accounts, so you'll be able to shield any folder within just seconds. You will have to select a domain or a subdomain and the exact folder which should be secured (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to type the desired username and password which will be used to access the folder in question when you need it. Each secured folder will have a padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you will be able to see immediately what content is secured and what's not. If necessary, you could make several different sets of login credentials for exactly the same folder.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers
It will take several mouse clicks to turn on the password protection function for any folder you have, if you use one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans. We have a very practical tool, that offers a user-friendly point-and-click interface and which can be used by people with zero experience. It's part of the Hepsia CP, which you will get to manage your new account and as soon as you log in and visit the Password Protection section, you will be able to pick the domain or subdomain that needs to be secured and then the specific folder - either the primary folder or any subfolder under it. You will also see two boxes in which you shall have to type in the login name and the password which will be needed to access the folder in question and you shall be ready. By following precisely the same steps, you can create a number of login credentials for the same folder to give several people their own username/password. All secured folders will have a small padlock sign in the File Manager section.
