A password-protected directory or area is a folder which can be accessed only when a username and a password are typed in, so no unauthorized people could view its content. This option may be used for the main folder of a particular website or exclusively for a specific subfolder in accordance with the needs you have. For example, if you are developing a new site and you don't want people to see it before it is ready, you might want to restrict the access to it as a whole, while if you want only some individuals to be able to access particular files, you may password-protect only a specific folder, while the remainder of the site may be seen by anybody. In either case, a “403 Forbidden” error page will appear in case the login details the visitor enters are not accurate. Even a direct link to a file shall not work as long as any folder above it is password-protected.
