I'm confused. You password protect a directory so that no one can get to
it. And then you can just link into a folder in that directory? Why
doesn't a password dialog box come up? Surely someone could write a
malicious script and have it link into the same file to get passwords and
stuff needed to ruin your database?

$0 option:
Put your user ID and password in a config file, then give only the
webserver user access to it. Read the config file to make it work. This
also allows easy switching between test and production environments.
