Yes. Put error pages for each of 401, 403 and 404 in that folder.

Make sure you also upload a BLANK file (completely blank - nothing at all in it) called "index.html" to that folder to stop people seeing the directory index.

Make sure you have a "Disallow" command in your robots.txt file to stop that directory being spidered too.
