A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login credentials are supplied. This could be a whole Internet site or simply one page which is situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you will see a web browser pop-up where you will have to type in a username and a password. If you input the correct ones, you can continue exploring the content without the need to do anything extra. If the login credentials are not accurate, however, you shall see information that you aren't allowed to look at the content. In case this option is active, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The option is incredibly practical if you need to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
