Protect templates dir?

[msa1382002]

hi everyone

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT Question:

how can I protect my template DIR from direct viewing  EX: www.MYSITE.com/4images/templates/default

1----------------first ..I tried to disable listing by put ""index.html" in (../templates/default ) << didn't work
                  ------------------  Still any one can view any template directly  ... EX:  www.MYsite.com/4images/templates/default/header.html

2--------------- second ..I tried to put  "" deny from all "" in ".htaccess" in (../templates/default)<<<<< didn't work
                   ----------------- pictures did apear in main page and some errors in style

3--------------- at last ..I tried to put  ""Redirect /*.html http://www.Mysite.ws/index.html "" in ".htaccess" in (../templates/default )<<<<< didn't work
                   ----------------- no chnges , still can view any template without redirect !!!!!!



any one have any ideas or any solution to solve this problem ???

I just want to disable any *.html from (../templates/default)
For EX: if any one  tried  www.MYsite.com/4images/templates/default/header.html ,, appear error page or redirect to main page ..

I believe you can use a redirect in htaccess.
Look at some of those tutorials for that

I dont know exactly what you would have to put so I can not help.

If you have cPanel through your hoster then you can set up a redirect that way. It only stops people from going directly to what page you specify.
