[SOLVED] Rookie chmod question

[mr.propre]

At the moment I protect my image folder on my websites with a HTML file. But isn't there a way using chmod to prevent people of reading you directory (open dir) and still be able to see the files if you have the full file name.

Thanks in advance.

With Apache you can turn off directory browsing with:

Options -Indexes

Could you use .htaccess?

Yes I can :-)

I don't think that's related to chmod.

Supposing you disable search/list access on a directory (the 'x' for 'execute'), then you do not have the permission to see the contents of the directory, but you cannot access files by a full path inside that directory either.

True. Setting Options -Indexes, either using .htaccess or directly in the Apache configuration, is the way to go.

This has been solved, but I'm going to drop it in Server Platforms so someone searching for this information will find it in the logical place. Cheers. :D
