Blocking direct access to images folder

[Guest_imported]

Hey all,

Now that I've gone through the long task of creating my own graphics, I don't want people to steal them. I already have a script to disable right clicking, but yet again, I can always just go directly to my images folder and grab the image directly. (

http://www.mydomain.com/images/mypic.jpg)

Is there any way in Apache that I can set up that diretory so the images still get displayed around the site but you cannot access that folder directly?

Thanks.

No. When a browser fetches the images from your server, it is accessing them directly.

You're probably fighting a losing battle here. For example, it's about three second's work to turn off Java and JavaScript in my browser (I use Opera).

And that doesn't include non-graphical browsers like lynx, or site-ripping software like BlackWidow. Neither run any scripting language, so any code you use to disable right-clicking is in the long run futile. ______________________________________________________________________
