A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the proper login details are offered. This could be a whole site or only a single page that is situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up where you will have to type a username and also a password. In case you type the right ones, you can continue browsing the content without needing to do anything more. If the login details aren't right, however, you shall see a message that you aren't allowed to see the content. If this function is active, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The feature is incredibly practical if you need to limit 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.
