If this option is active, a pop-up will appear every time a person attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details will be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected just the domain.com folder.

The feature could be beneficial in numerous cases - if only some individuals need to be able to see certain files, if you work on an Internet site and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, and so on.
