A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the right login details are supplied. This could be a whole site or just a single page that is located within a subfolder. If you try to open this sort of a directory, you will see a browser pop-up where you must enter a username and also a password. If you input the right ones, you can continue browsing the content with no need to do anything more. If the login details aren't correct, however, you will see a note that you aren't allowed to view the content. If this function is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The feature is extremely useful if you'd like to restrict the access to some content or if you work on a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting

With the password protection tool supplied with each and every cloud hosting package which we provide, you'll be able to shield any content that you have inside your account with simply a few mouse clicks. Due to the fact that the tool is an element of our revolutionary Hepsia Control Panel, it features the exact same simple interface and you will not require any special skills to use it. Once you visit the Password Protection section, you will have to pick one of the domains or subdomains which you have in the account and then choose if the protection should be turned on for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you want and you will be set. A little padlock symbol in the File Manager section will tell you that a specific folder is password-protected. In the same way you will be able to include numerous usernames and passwords for the same folder if you would like several people to have their own login credentials.

Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it's a part of, so you shall not need to write any code at any time. You'll simply have to choose one of the domains/subdomains you have inside the web hosting account and to choose which folder must be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. Then you can type in the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be ready. The protection will be activated right away, so anybody who attempts to access the freshly protected folder shall have to input the correct login details. In cases where a number of individuals should be able to open the same content, you could set up a separate username for each.
