Block access do folder with all the images

[son_gokou]

Anyone knows how to block access into the folder where the images are?

For example http://yoururl/./data/media/1/

Anyone can download all the images at once and that's not good. I donīt know a way how to do this. And you?

protect the folder with password, put .htaccess in every folder

Do you know what should i put on .htaccess?
If not I will search for it.

Thanks for your help

I dont know what need to be in . htaccess I was using Cpanel for that, this protection is for direct entry to this folder, if script call some media file, browser will show them.

Hmm, thats interesting because I use that on my gallery, also I have instaled this V@no's mod http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=6997.msg30703#msg30703

another way to do it would be to add a blank index.html page in the folder. This way when someone tries to enter directly to the folder they will get a blank page. If not a blank page then put a page with a forwarder in the meta tag to go back to your gallery home page.

Also with cPanel you can use the HotLink Protection along with V@no's mod.

For cPanel:
Dont use the index manager as that turns indexes off. If indexes are off, people will not be able to see what files are in a directory that lacks an index file.

You need to use the Web Protect.
