Whenever this option is activated, a pop-up shall appear anytime somebody attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info will be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have secured just the domain.com folder. In case the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way to get around this restriction, so you can be positive that no one will be able to access the secured content. The option could be helpful in a number of cases - if only some people need to be able to see certain files, if you work on an Internet site and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so on.
