Password Protected Directories

What are password-protected directories? What do they imply for your site?

A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the proper login credentials are supplied. This could be an entire website or only one page which is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this type of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up where you will have to input a username and a password. If you type in the right ones, you'll be able to continue surfing around the content without having to do anything more. In case the login credentials aren't accurate, however, you'll see a message that you are not permitted to view the content. In case this option is activated, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The option is incredibly handy if you wish to limit the access to some content or if you are developing an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
