A password-protected directory or area is a folder which may be accessed only if a username and a password are typed in, so no unauthorized people could see its content. This option can be used for the primary folder of a specific Internet site or just for a particular subfolder based upon the needs you have. For example, when you are creating a new Internet site and you do not want people to see it prior to it being ready, you might want to restrict the access to it altogether, whereas if you need only some individuals to be able to access specific files, you can password-protect only a certain folder, while the other parts of the Internet site could be seen by everyone. Either way, a “403 Forbidden” error page shall appear if the login details the visitor enters aren't correct. Even a direct link to a file will not work if any folder above it is password-protected.
