A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This may be a whole site or only one page that is located within a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will need to input a username and a password. In case you enter the correct ones, you will be able to continue browsing the content with no need to do anything else. When the login details aren't correct, however, you shall see a note that you aren't authorized to view the content. In case this function is active, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The function is very practical if you wish 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 prior to it being ready.
