A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the proper login details are supplied. This may be an entire site or simply one page that's located in a subfolder. If you attempt to open such a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up where you have to type in a username as well as a password. In case you type the right ones, you can continue browsing the content with no need to do anything else. In case the login details aren't right, however, you shall see a message that you are not allowed to view the content. When this function is active, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The feature is incredibly handy if you'd like to prohibit the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
