Hello,

I am using an online membership script and would like to protect a folder so that the images are protected. The content in the script is located in a MySQL database, but the images are located on the server.

How can I protect the folder with Chmod so that no one can see the magazine/issues/april2008 folder when placed in the address bar, but the images are visible when accessing the content?

I have tried 711, 600 and 700 with no luck so if anyone have any other suggestions I would appreciate it.

Is the idea that you don't want people seeing the list of images if they access the folder? If so just place a blank index.html in the folder. If people then try to access the folder they'll get served the blank html page instead.

Thanks for your reply vangogh, it worked great!

You can also accomplish with a .htaccess file
<Directory /magazine/issues/april2008>
Options -Indexes
</Directory>

Can't remember if it is - or +

James I want to say it's + but I'm not remembering either.

Glad to help Sam
