Riparian Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi I need to allow users to upload to a directory I can then access the information (jpegs) from a management section (e.g. using <img src> ) The prob is that if someone types e.g. sitename/directory/ the contents of the directory is displayed. Can I password the directory but still allow the user to upload to it. Cheers and any help greatly appreciated.

requinix Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Password protection (like the kind done with a .htaccess or IIS setting) only affects somebody trying to browse to the location. It would not affect whether PHP could upload a file into the folder. It would, however, affect showing the files inside. You wouldn't be able to without the login. Sounds like you just want to block a directory index. Pretty simple, assuming the server is configured to allow it. Options -Indexes Put that in a .htaccess in the upload directory.
