A password-protected directory or area is a folder that can be accessed only if a username and a password are entered, so no unauthorized individuals may check out its content. This function may be used for the main folder of a specific Internet site or exclusively for a specific subfolder depending on the needs you have. For instance, when you are creating a new Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it is 100% ready, you need to restrict the access to it completely, whereas if you need only some people to be able to access certain files, you can password-protect only a particular folder, while the remaining portion of the site can be seen by everybody. In any case, a “403 Forbidden” error page will appear in case the login details the visitor types in are not accurate. Even a direct link to a file won't work given that any folder above it is password-protected.
