2. Navigate to Password Protected Directories
3. Click the Find a Directory to Password Protect link. The file manager window will open.
4. Locate the folder you want to block access to and click the Protect link
5. Enter a description for this protection (like my private directory), a username, and a password.
6. Check the Protection Enabled option and click the Save button. You will see a confirmation message: Directory Protection Settings have been saved.
