If you wish to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a certain folder - either the primary site folder or a different one below it. Whenever this option is active, a pop-up shall appear anytime somebody tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected the domain.com folder. If the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there's no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that nobody shall be able access the protected content. The function may be useful in numerous cases - if only certain people should be able to see certain files, if you work on a site and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, etc.
