A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the proper login details are offered. This could be a whole Internet site or just a single page that's situated in a subfolder. If you try to open this sort of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up where you will have to enter a username and also a password. If you input the appropriate ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content without needing to do anything more. If the login credentials are not right, however, you shall see a note that you are not authorized to see the content. If this function is enabled, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is incredibly handy if you want to restrict the access to some content or if you are creating a site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
