Help | Tutorials | Password Protecting a Directory

This allows you to store sensitive material online and restrict the material to authorised users only. You can protect directories within your site from browsers by using a password to protect them. This has the same appearance and effect as the password protection on the Hosting control panel.

1. Login to your Hosting control panel.
2. Click Password Protect Directories under the Security tab.
3. Find 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.
4. Type the name that you want to appear in the Protected Resource Name field. This is optional and purely for the user's benefit.
