A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the right login details are offered. This may be a whole Internet site or just one page that's situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you shall see a web browser pop-up in which you will have to enter a username and also a password. If you type in the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content without the need to do anything else. If the login details aren't right, however, you shall see a note that you aren't permitted to see 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 extremely effective if you'd like to restrict the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
