Emptying the Trash

Warning: Make sure you do not need any of the files or folders in the Trash before you empty it, because the

files are deleted permanently once the Trash is emptied.

To empty the Trash:

1. Click on the Empty trash link in the Trash area. All of the files in the Trash have now been permanently

deleted.

Web Protect Directories

You can protect directories within your site from browsers by using a password to protect them.

This allows you to restrict material to only authorized users or store sensitive material online. This has the same

appearance and effect as the password protection on CPanel.

To password protect a directory:

1. Click on the Web Protect link in the Account Settings area.

2. Navigate to the directory that you want to protect. Select a folder by clicking on the folder name link, or

open a folder by clicking on the folder icon.

3. Click on the tick box next to the

icon.

4. Enter the name that you want to appear in the Protected Resource Name field. This is optional and

purely for the user's benefit.

5. Click on the

button.

Generally, you now need to add at least one authorized user to enable access to the directory. Refer to page

45 for more information.
