Are you using Apache? If so, create a file, inside the folder, called .htaccess with this in it:

Edit: Whoops, bad advice. This will make the images not available at all. Use INV's advice below...

 

In .Htaccess you can also just add

and it wont list the content of a folder if the index.html/php is missing

 

Thanks for ur time
