Web Site Directory 4

[eclipse33]

Hi,

Background - I have a company webpage. I have put a disable right click javascript on it to deter some people from taking our graphics (had a problem with some competitors using our graphics).


Question - In my root directory there is a html folder for code and an images folder. If I type

http://www.mysite.com/images/

in the IE address bar all the images come up listed. Is there any way to stop this? Is this something our host can correct or is that just the way it is??

Thanks

easiest way is to put an index page that redirects to your main page.

Either do what Rob suggested (index redirect page) or you can tell your host to not allow directory listing on the images directory.

1st - You mean put a redirection page where? In the Images folder??

2nd - Can the host control the viewing of a directory?

eclipse33,
Yes to both your questions.

Yeah, easiest method is to make an index.html with a simple redirect (you can get these anywhere) and put it into your images folder. When people then type the url, instead of showing a listing of the folder, it will invoke index.html and redirect them to your chosen page.

The host can control viewing, but depending on your host this may take a while to achieve if at all. I`d use a redirect page AND ask the host, that way you know you have got it right.
