If you want to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you could activate password protection for a certain folder - either the main site folder or another one below it. Whenever this feature is enabled, a pop-up will appear every time someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login info will be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected just the domain.com folder. If the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that no one will be able to access the secured content. The option can be helpful in numerous scenarios - if only a few people need to be able to see particular files, if you work on a site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, etc.
