The function may be helpful in a variety of cases - if only a few individuals should be able to see specific files, if you are building a site and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, etc.

We have built in an extremely easy-to-use point-and-click tool into the Hepsia Control Panel, offered with all accounts, so you will be able to secure any folder within a matter of seconds. You will simply have to pick a domain or a subdomain and the exact folder which must be secured (the main one or a subfolder), and then to enter the username and password that will be used to access the folder in question when you need it. Each secured folder will have a padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you'll be able to see instantly what content is protected and what's not. If necessary, you can create a number of different sets of login details for precisely the same folder.
