Probably not the right forum, sorry.

Say i have this site:
http://example.com/

The main logo image, is located in http://example.com/images/logos/

Anyone using firefox can right-click the image and select 'view image', opening the image in the browser with the full url on the address bar, like so:
http://example.com/images/logos/someimage.jpg

so if the person deleted 'someimage.jpg' from the address bar, he will be in "http://example.com/images/logos/" viewing all of its contents.

How can i stop that? i set chmod to 711, but then index.php will give me this error:
[quote]Warning: opendir(./images/logos/): failed to open dir: Permission denied in /hsphere/local/home/me/example.com/includes/classes.php on line 13
Could not open directory for main image selection.[/quote]

classes.php is where i have the script to open and select a random image from the logos folder.


I would post my actually site here, but then people could navigate through my files, and i'd rather not let that happen.
I will gladly PM it if needed.

Thank you.

Hej

put "IndexIgnore *.gif *.jpg" in your htaccess file to block listing of image files.

WW.

Thanks for the reply.
I did that, but now the main page does not get the image from the logo directory.
so www.example.com, the image won't show.

Turn off Apache's indexing:

[code]
<Directory />
    Options -Indexes
</Directory>
[/code]

[sKunKbad]

just create an .htaccess file in your images folder with:

Options -Indexes

in it, and people will no longer have access to your images folder in list view.

Thanks guys.

Effigy, I would prefer not to turn off apache's indexing, because there might be folders I would want to allow indexing

Just use [code]<Directory /images>
    Options -Indexes
</Directory>[/code] instead then.
