A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the proper login details are supplied. This can be an entire Internet site or just one page which is located in a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you'll see a browser pop-up where you must enter a username and a password. In case you input the right ones, you'll be able to continue surfing around the content with no need to do anything additional. In case the login credentials are not accurate, however, you'll see a message that you are not allowed to look at the content. In case this feature is active, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The feature is very effective if you want to restrict the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
