hi,

is the the possibility to protect my folders with htaccess in that way that no one can browse this folders but when i call the index all files that are requested are shown without the login prompt?

thx
mike

you want the folder to be password protected, and only you can access them.

hmmm..

you can do something like that this way:

<directory /home/user/www/protect>
order deny, allow
deny from all
allow from your.host.name
</directory>

note that this will only work if you have a static hostname.
if you don't change the your.host.name line to
*.a.part.ofyour.hostname

you always need to play a bit with this..

hi,

the thing is that i have differen folders (pictures, sounds...)
these folders i want to protect.
in the root lies the index.html and this is not protected.

if i call the root the prompt appears because the index.html needs files from the protected folders.

what i need is that the folders keep protected but the fils that are be used to build the site have to be loaded without the prompt.

i want to prevent that users can browse my folders by bypassing the root but the site should be build normaly.

i hope this is a little bit more helpful.

thx
mike

Sorry for the late response...

maybe this works, haven't tested..


Maybe you can leave the 'satisfy Any' out, but I'm not sure about that.

Place the code in a .htaccess file in the same directory index.html is

Hope this is what you mean (and that it works)

for you imges you can try
