A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the right login details are offered. This could be a whole Internet site or only one page which is in a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you will see a browser pop-up where you will need to input a username and also a password. If you input the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue surfing around the content without the need to do anything more. In case the login details aren't right, however, you'll see a message that you are not permitted to see the content. In case this feature is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is incredibly useful if you want to prohibit the access to some content or if you are creating a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
