A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the proper login details are offered. This may be an entire website or simply one page that's in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up where you have to type in a username as well as a password. If you type the correct ones, you can continue browsing the content without having to do anything extra. If the login credentials aren't accurate, however, you will see a note that you are not allowed to look at the content. In case this function is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The option is extremely effective if you need to restrict the access to some content or if you work on a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
