Password Protection
This allows you to protect your directories from non-authorized access via a browser except for certain groups/users/referrers whom you explicitly allow.
For more detailed information on password protection, please see the myCP® Password Protection article.
Image Protector (Unix only)
You can this to prevent other sites from linking (leeching) your images and using up your bandwidth and perhaps violating your copyrights. It works on the principle that only links from within your sites are legitimate. Sites from elsewhere, unless given explicit permission from you, have no business in linking to your images. To use this tool, in the field "Enter Directory", type the name of the image directory you wish to protect, then click "Protect It". You may allow additional URLs to access the images in this diectory by typing them in the text area "URL(s) to allow access," type in the URLs (one per line).
Please note that Image Protector is just a subset of Password Protection module. It is designed to simplify this task. If you wish to edit, delete or for finer control of protecting your directories, please refer to the Password Protection module mentioned in the above section.
