Whenever this feature is enabled, a pop-up will appear each 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 shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured just the domain.com folder. If the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can be positive that no one will be able to access the shielded content. The option may be useful in a number of scenarios - if only certain individuals need to be able to see certain files, if you are building a website and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so on.
