Password
protect directories
|
You
can protect directories within your site from browsers by using
a password to protect them. This allows you to restrict material
to only authorized users or store sensitive material online. This
has the same appearance and effect as the password protection on
CPanel.
To
password protect a directory:
-
Click
on the Password protect directories button
on the home page.
-
Navigate
to the directory that you want to protect. Select a folder by
clicking on the folder name link, or open a folder by clicking
on the folder icon.
-
Click
on the tick box next to the
icon.
-
Enter
the name that you want to appear in the Protected Resource
Name field. This is optional and purely for the user's
benefit.
-
Click
on the Save button. Generally, you now need
to add at least one authorized user to enable access to the
directory. Refer to Adding
an authorized user for more information.
