Protect a folder with a password

Updated on 4 November 20261 min read

Put a password on a folder, e.g. a test version of your site or a folder with documents.

Here's how

  1. Go to Advanced Features → Password Protected Directories.
  2. Choose the folder (e.g. domains/yourdomain.be/public_html/test).
  3. Tick Enable, give the login window a name and enter a username and password.
  4. Click Save. Visitors now get a login window.

Tip: type the name of a feature in the search field at the top of DirectAdmin (in Dutch or English) and you'll find it right away.
