I guess I would like to deny access to the index. But I also don't want people to be able to view my global.css file, which every page is linked to and is in the directory "/css". Also I just set up the server with the default settings. Are there any basic security precautions I should be taking at all such as turning off index view capabilities for clients? -----Original Message----- From: Macks, Aaron [mailto:amacks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 4:04 PM To: <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Denying access to a folder while allowing the content inside it to be displayed on other pages? By "Direct Access" do you mean the index of the directory?

In my site's root directory I have an "images" folder, which contains all the images used in my site. I would like to be able to deny direct url access to the folder but still allow the images to be displayed on the site. Can someone please tell me how to do this with the <directory> directive? I'm a noob at this kind of stuff so please bear with me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
