If you would like keep some content hidden from the public eye, you could switch on password protection for a given folder - either the main site folder or a different one below it. In case this option is activated, a pop-up shall appear anytime someone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured only the domain.com folder. In case the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no way to get around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one will be able to access the secured content. The function could be useful in a variety of situations - if only a number of individuals need to be able to see specific files, if you work on an Internet site and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, etc.
