alright so i have a web site: http://www.richardefidler.com on the server i have a sub-directory for all the images stored on my site: http://www.richardefidler.com/images here is the thing i would like to do: i want it where that sub-directory cannot be viewed by just anyone. ya know, i don't want people to get an "index" with all my image files listed when they click on that second link. i am sure it is some easy fix to make it private or whatever, but i cannot seem to figure it out. anyone care to help a brother out?
Well, if you can edit the conf file (and the server is apache) just add this: <Directory "/real/path/to/directory"> Options -Indexes </Directory> If you want, you could create a file ".htaccess" in that images directory, and just put the line Options -Indexes in there. If your server isn't Apache, I don't know what to tell you.
