A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the proper login details are supplied. This may be an entire Internet site or only a single page which is in a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up where you will need to input a username and also a password. If you input the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue surfing around the content without needing to do anything else. When the login credentials are not accurate, however, you will see a note that you are not allowed to view the content. When this option is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The option is very useful if you wish to prohibit the access to some content or if you work on a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
