A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This may be an entire Internet site or only one page which is located within a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up in which you have to type a username and a password. If you enter the correct ones, you'll be able to continue exploring the content without the need to do anything extra. When the login credentials aren't correct, however, you shall see a note that you aren't authorized to look at the content. If this feature is activated, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is incredibly effective if you wish to restrict the access to some content or if you are creating a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
