  2. Select the \u201cFiles\u201d section.
    \"\"<\/li>\r\n
  3. Click on the \u201cDirectory Privacy\u201d option.
    \"\"<\/li>\r\n
  4. You will be directed to a page where you can find directories.<\/li>\r\n
  5. Select the directory and click on the \u201cEdit\u201d option.
    \"\"<\/li>\r\n
  6. Untick the check box of \u201cPassword protect this directory\u201d.
    \"\"<\/li>\r\n
  7. Finally click on the \u201cSave\u201d button.
    \"\"<\/li>\r\n
  8. You will get a message in a green color box, that the system has removed the access permission for the directory.
    \"\"<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
