Hello!

This is Zeeshan Ahmed from itHighway. We need a wayt to protect a couple of folders from directly being accessed. One folder will contain "images" and the other folder will contain "Text files".

Right now if someone directly type the http address of image or text file, it opens the file in browser. We need a way to protect image and text file folder. But on the other hand we also want our administrator to access these files after login in to his account.


Do we have to set some permissions to server?

Any Idea...
Any Help....
Will be greatly appriciated..


Thanks
Zeeshan Ahmed

IMAGES: Even if you can stop this, we can get them another way. If images are showing on your web page, we can download them at least one of several ways.

The only thing I want is, no one can directly access the files by typing the complete URL of image or file in the browser

Im sure you can do this however Ive never had the need myself. I would lock down that folder for the IUSR then:
1..test n unlock slightly
repeating step 1 untill...

In reference to your answer there; Diretory browsing should never be enabled unless you want to file share and give your network administrator headaches. If this was enabled disabling this will not solve your problem.
