Whenever this feature is active, a pop-up shall appear each and every time someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have protected only the domain.com folder. If the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that nobody shall be able access the secured content. The feature could be useful in a variety of cases - if only a number of individuals must be able to see particular files, if you work on an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so on.
