The Directory Protection Manager is also available from the File Manager page. This tool allows you to set password protection on specified directories. This tool is accessed by clicking the Password link for the directory to which you would like to apply password protection.

How To Apply Password Protection to a Directory:

• From the File Manager, select the Password link that corresponds to the directory to which you would like to apply password protection. The Directory Protection Manager page displays.
  
  
• In the section marked Choose the directory you would like to work with, the Directory field should display the desired directory. If it does not, select the appropriate directory by using the field's drop-down list and clicking the Load button.
  
  
• In the Add/Modify a user for directory: "directory name", type an existing or new user name in the User ID field.
  
  

• Type a password for that user in the Password field. If you are creating a new user name, the password is created along with it. If you are modifying an existing user name, the original password is changed to whatever you enter.
  
  
• Once the information is entered, select the Submit button. The Directory Protection Manager page reappears with an additional option available.
  
  
• Now, there is a section called Remove a user for directory: directory name. Once there is a user set up with password access to the directory that user can be removed by selecting the user name from the User ID field then clicking on Remove.
  
  
• When finished, select the Control Panel link (it could have another name) in the right corner of the top frame to return to the Control Panel. There is no direct link straight back to the File Manager from here.
