A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the correct login credentials are supplied. This may be a whole website or simply a single page that is located within a subfolder. If you attempt to open such a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up in which you have to type in a username as well as a password. If you type in the correct ones, you will be able to continue exploring the content without the need to do anything additional. In case the login details are not correct, however, you shall see information that you are not permitted to see the content. If this feature is enabled, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The option is very useful if you need to prohibit the access to some content or if you are creating an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
