Whenever this function is activated, a pop-up will appear every time somebody attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have protected only the domain.com folder. In case the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one will be able to access the secured content. The function may be useful in a number of situations - if only certain individuals should be able to see certain files, if you are developing a site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, etc.
