<html>This demo will show you how to password protect a directory through your cPanel. Password protecting a directory makes it so that a log in prompt appears when you attempt to view the directory in your internet browser.

<div style='padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd;margin:10px;'>Note: Password protecting a directory will also cause any directories within the password protected directory to be password protected as well. For example, if the following directory: 
 
http://example.com/stuff/ 
 
was password protected any folders within the "stuff" folder would be password protected as well, such as: 
 
http://example.com/stuff/notes/</div>
