A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login credentials are provided. This may be a whole site or just one page which is located within a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you will see a browser pop-up in which you will have to enter a username and a password. If you type in the correct ones, you can continue browsing the content without having to do anything additional. If the login credentials aren't accurate, however, you'll see a message that you are not permitted to see the content. If this option is activated, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is incredibly effective if you wish to limit the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
