A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the proper login details are offered. This may be a whole Internet site or only a single page that is situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open such a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will need to enter a username and also a password. If you enter the appropriate ones, you will be able to continue exploring the content without the need to do anything extra. If the login details are not right, however, you'll see information that you aren't permitted to look at the content. If this option is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The feature is quite handy if you want to prohibit the access to some content or if you work on a site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
