If this function is activated, a pop-up will appear every time a person tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured the domain.com folder. When the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that no one will be able to access the shielded content. The function can be useful in a variety of cases - if only some people should be able to see particular files, if you are building an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so forth.
