Protecting folders..

Protecting content..

Hi,

I have a number of audio files online but the problem is that anybody can open up
an url to the main folder that contains sub folders with my audio files in them.
So anybody can browse them, i don't want them to be able to open the content
of these folders through their web browser or anything, but i still want to be able
to give out the urls/links to the files in these folders,
Example:
if i gave someone a link to my audio file, they could play it in whatever media player,
But they couldnt follow the link over the web to access all my content.

Thanks later

If htaccess feature is the anstwer to this, i have to select at least one box in that setting,
and if i selected use a password, would that stop anybody from listening to my file if i gave
them the link. or how does that work, before i got setting it up.

You can change the .htaccess yourself. adding IndexIgnore * or Options -Indexes should prevent the index from being listed while allowing access to specific files.

You could also try when setting up htaccess in the web panel allowing hotlinking

Two words:

options -indexes
