Hello you would want to use the Website Security , it will ask you for the folder you want secure and then it will ask you for a user name and password, You can also use FTP manger and create a login that allows that login to be able to access only what you allow them too have access too

Apparently you only get any security if you have .. advanced hosting package.

Which i dont, so guess i'll have to find another site that will do secure access..!

You can set this up yourself if you don't mind some basic coding.

Google for how to set up .htaccess / .htpasswd files.

You don't need to do it through SSH. Just upload the files using FTP and it will work fine.

why are so many people recommending using FTP, and recommending it instead of SSH is just plain negligent.
