A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login credentials are supplied. This can be an entire site or simply one page that is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you shall see a web browser pop-up where you will have to type a username and a password. If you enter the right ones, you'll be able to continue exploring the content without the need to do anything else. If the login credentials aren't accurate, however, you will see information that you are not authorized to look at the content. If this option is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The function is incredibly useful if you want to restrict the access to some content or if you work on an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
