A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the right login details are offered. This could be an entire website or just a single page which is situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you will see a browser pop-up in which you have to type a username as well as a password. In case you enter the right ones, you'll be able to continue surfing around the content without having to do anything more. If the login details are not correct, however, you will see information that you aren't permitted to view the content. In case this feature is activated, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The option is extremely practical if you want to limit 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 prior to it being ready.
