Help Passwording Webspace Folders.

Trem · Jan 31, 2009

I use Cute FTP and I have Virgin webspace, I am on Vista on both computers.

I host images quite a lot (usually of my accidents) but obviously it is quite easy to right click on an image and see the main folder, then say if I had many pics of my c0xlar they could be seen.

Is there any way of password protecting my folders? I would just make a new folder and not protect it for stuff I wanted to share.

Is it a case of somehow protecting them on my desktop before uploading or do I do it through Cute, if so how?

Many thanks and a free pic of my c0xette to anyone who helps.

I think what you might want is to disable directory listings in your webspace. That way when people type in the directory, they'd not see the list of files. They'd have to guess the exact file name to see the file.

As to how you do that... urm... dunno

If Virgin use Apache as their webserver, a text file called ".htaccess" (nothing before the '.') with the following would work:

Code:

Options -Indexes

you could however just create a blank text file, and call it index.html and upload it to the directory in question, so when people goto www.tremscox0r.com/pics/ for instance they just get a blank page.

You could also get funky and put a message such as "Fuck off" in index.html

Yeah, just use notepad and make sure it's called index.html not index.txt

Make index.html say the following:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>OI!!!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>OI!!!</h1>
</body>
</html>

Change both bits of text that say OI!!! (leaving the <> stuff where it is)
