httaccess, dissallow folders?

hello, i have some folders set to permission 777 due to the fact that the blogg i use dont work if the folder with the image(s) is not chmoded 777, so i wanted to ask, can i trough httaccess somehow dissallow listing / access from someone who goes to http://mydomain.com/images/ and other folders ?

 

i think by adding this line to your .htaccess file will prevent it from listing the files :

 

Well, i just use

Options -Indexes

PHP:

 

will that prevent users from being able to go to http://mydomain.com/images/ even if that folder is chmoded 777 ?

 

An easy way is to add a index.php file into the directory and put a location redirect in it

 

keep this for security

<FilesMatch "(.php|.html)$">
  Order allow,deny
</FilesMatch>

Code (markup):

any php html file (hacking shells) in the directory wont be accessible direktly ..

then if u have cpanel there is index manager option to disallow indexing

 

there is nothing like this that would work is there ?

order deny,allow
deny from all
deny from */uploads/*
allow from all
