Protect directory from calling url's

[kingcobra96]

I'd like to know if there is some way I can protect a directory from calling url's/ip's but allow access to one set url/ip. The called urls are all images. Is this possible. Thanks, Steve

if you are using apache web server you could just turn off directory browsing by changing the directive block

Hi!

You should take a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#filesmatch. I'm using this directive in an .htacces file to make a directory "images-only":
Order allow,deny
Deny from all

<FilesMatch ".(gif|jpeg|jpg|jpe|png)$">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>
