A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the right login details are offered. This may be a whole site or only a single page that's in a subfolder. If you try to open this sort of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up in which you must input a username and also a password. If you type the correct ones, you can continue surfing around the content without needing to do anything else. When the login credentials aren't correct, however, you will see information that you aren't permitted to look at the content. In case this function is active, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is quite useful if you'd like to restrict the access to some content or if you are developing an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
