Setting Up Directory Privacy with cPanel

 This feature allows you to protect specific directories in your cPanel account hosting files.

After you enable this feature for a directory, when users attempt to view that directory via a website, the system prompts them to log in.

Note: This feature modifies htaccess and htpasswd configurations in order to restrict access to files on your websites.
This feature does not protect Directories that users access via FTP, SFTP, Web Disk, or other services, or when they access files locally.
