haaglin Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 You can put an empty index.html file in you directory. then all they see is a blank page.

SharkBait Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 If you manage to block them from getting into your images directory, you could then use .htaccess and an Apache Mod_rewrite and block hotlinking to the images.I don't have my sample of denying hot-linking of images/pdfs because my server is currently down until I go in tomorrow to turn it on.

isaac_cm Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 it seems that there is no solution for this security problemIn case someone subscribe to my newsletter and receive email from me he will simply will right click on the image and know the link to my site logo so he can use this link and send emails to my customers to fraud them as it was from meany idea ?
