A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the proper login details are offered. This can be an entire website or simply a single page that's located in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you will see a web browser pop-up in which you have to input a username and a password. If you type in the correct ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content without having to do anything else. If the login details are not correct, however, you shall see a note that you aren't permitted to look at the content. In case this option is activated, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The function is very useful if you want to limit the access to some content or if you are developing a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
