A password-protected directory or area is a folder which may be accessed when a username and a password are typed in, so no unauthorized people may see its content. This function could be used for the main folder of a specific Internet site or just for a specific subfolder based on your preferences. For example, if you are building a new website and you don't want people to see it before it's completely ready, you should restrict the access to it altogether, and if you need only some individuals to be able to access specific files, you may password-protect only a specific folder, while the remaining portion of the Internet site could be seen by everybody. In any case, a “403 Forbidden” error page will appear in the event that the login details the visitor enters are not right. Even a direct link to a file shall not work so long as any folder above it is password-protected.

You will have to select a domain or a subdomain and the exact folder that must be protected (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to enter the desired username and password that will be used to access the folder in question in the future. Each protected folder will have a padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you shall be able to see at a glance what content is protected and what's not. When necessary, you may create several different sets of login credentials for precisely the same folder.
