Password Protected Directories
What are password-protected directories? What do they signify for your Internet site?
A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the correct login details are supplied. This could be a whole Internet site or simply one page that's located in a subfolder. If you try to open this type of a directory, you will see a browser pop-up where you will need to input a username and also a password. In case you enter the correct ones, you will be able to continue browsing the content without the need to do anything additional. In case the login details aren't right, however, you will see a message that you aren't allowed to see the content. In case this function is activated, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The option is extremely useful if you need to restrict the access to some content or if you work on a website and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.
