How can I password protect a section on my web site using HTTP authentication?

1. Login to your control panel
2. Select "File Manager"
3. Select a folder underneath your web site docroot (i.e. under domains/yourdomain.com/public_html)
4. In the "Action" column select "Protect" for the folder you wish to protect
5. Check off "Enable", create a Login prompt, select a username and password
6. Once completed press the "Save" button
7. Your folder is now password protected

Once a folder is password protected you can modify your setting or add additonal users, by selecting "Password Protected Directories".
