A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This may be an entire website or just one page which is situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open such a directory, you'll see a web browser pop-up where you will need to type in a username and a password. In case you type in the right ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content with no need to do anything additional. In case the login details are not right, however, you will see information that you aren't authorized to look at the content. If this feature is enabled, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is incredibly effective if you'd like to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
