- Files/Folders filter...
- If you set a filter for files/folders, then some items will be hidden. It works actually as the "Hide" command so please refer to it for more details. The only files that will be shown are the ones that match the filter mask. For more information on file masks check the specific section.
- Default file mask...
- When a folder is browsed, the default file mask is used to find a file to serve in place of the folder page. If no file is found, the folder page is served.
- Don't count as download :mask...
- Files matching this filemask are not considered for global downloads counter. Moreover they never get tray icon.
- Set user/pass...

- Protects an item by restricting access to specified users. Before using this option you have to configure some account. (Putting a tick next to a user grants them access to that item.)

It does not actually prevent retrieving, in facts you can give a full URL of the file to your friend and he will be able to download it. It just do not list the file when people is browsing through the VFS. It is not the most secure way to protect your files from unwanted accesses, though it is often reasonable since in most cases people do not know the name of the file you are hiding.
