How Do I Use .htaccess file to Block Website Viewers From Seeing Directory Structure?
You have three possible solutions: 1) Create a dummy index file. The web server will only generate an index page if there is no page. So just create an ‘index.html’ (or whatever the default page name is) in your ‘Images’ directory. You can put anything you want in it, it doesn’t matter. That way, when people go to your images directory, they’ll get that page. 2) Turn off directory indexing in your web server. You don’t mention what web server you’re using, but most of them provide a way to do this on a per-directory or per-site basis. 3) Use .htaccess hacks to make it work. For example, set a default access of denied, but then set allowed access for ‘*.*’. Every image file you serve will have a dot in its name. I recommend option 1 — it’s the simplest.
