A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the correct login details are offered. This may be a whole website or only one page that's in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you will see a browser pop-up where you must type in a username and also a password. If you type the right ones, you will be able to continue surfing around the content without having to do anything additional. When the login details aren't right, however, you'll see a message that you aren't authorized to see the content. When this option is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The option is extremely useful if you want to limit the access to some content or if you work on a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it is ready.
