protected!! what is it ?

[Desaster]

hi I saw this in a resource can you tell me what does it do ?

 ="client.lua" type="client" protected="true"/> 

ps : in meta.xml

[Castillo]

If you enable that, the script won't be downloaded to the client's hard drive, it'll be loaded on memory.

Wasn't that called 'cache'?

[Castillo]

I would say that it got renamed to 'cache', since 'protected' no longer appears on the wiki.

[Markeloff]

it'll be loaded on memory.

Server's Memory or client's computer?

[Dealman]

It will be stored in the RAM, rather than stored on the hard-drive. That way, people will have to re-download the client script everytime they join the server.

This is to prevent script theft. You should use "cache=false" instead. False will store in RAM, true on HDD.

Keep in mind that people can still get the code easily by packet sniffing, but I guess it's a good way to prevent noobs from stealing your scripts at least.
