A password-protected directory or area is a folder which could be accessed only when a username and a password are entered, so no unauthorized individuals could look at its content. This feature may be used for the primary folder of a particular site or only for a specific subfolder based on the needs you have. For example, when you are building a new site and you do not want people to see it before it is ready, you might want to prohibit the access to it as a whole, while if you want only some people to be able to access certain files, you'll be able to password-protect only a particular folder, while the other parts of the website may be seen by anybody. Anyway, a “403 Forbidden” error page will appear when the login details the visitor types in aren't accurate. Even a direct link to a file won't work so long as any folder above it is password-protected.
