Tips: To restrict certain portions of your website, perhaps to registered users, place the restricted files in a common folder and then password protect that folder.

Notes: A user can only access a file or directory if their username and password matches the information you entered on this feature. Nexx provides you with a list of the usernames and passwords you created so you can securely keep track of them.
