When this feature is activated, a pop-up will appear every time anyone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured the domain.com folder. When the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way to get around this restriction, so you can rest assured that nobody will be able to access the shielded content. The option could be beneficial in numerous scenarios - if only a few individuals must be able to see specific files, if you work on an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, etc.
