A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the right login details are offered. This could be an entire Internet site or simply one page that's situated in a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you will see a web browser pop-up where you will need to enter a username and also a password. In case you type the correct ones, you can continue exploring the content without the need to do anything extra. In case the login credentials aren't accurate, however, you will see information that you aren't allowed to view the content. When this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The function is incredibly handy if you wish to prohibit the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.
