A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the proper login credentials are offered. This may be a whole site or just a single page which is located in a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you'll see a browser pop-up in which you have to type in a username and a password. If you input the correct ones, you can continue exploring the content with no need to do anything extra. When the login details are not correct, however, you will see information that you aren't permitted to look at the content. In case this feature is enabled, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The function is incredibly useful if you want to limit the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
