A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the correct login credentials are offered. This can be a whole Internet site or simply one page that's situated in a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up where you must type in a username as well as a password. If you type in the right ones, you can continue exploring the content without the need to do anything else. In case the login credentials are not right, however, you'll see information that you are not authorized to see the content. If this function is active, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is quite effective if you'd like to restrict the access to some content or if you are developing a site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
