hi
on my website i have a folder like this
mysite.com/upload

and in the upload folder i have many folders. i want to deny direct access to all the folders that are in teh upload folder. if u want something then go through my site.

any one know how i can do this

It is possible. There is code for it. I just dont know the code.

I'll have a quick nose around, see what I can find.

If your apache has mod_access installed (very likely) then you can use that...

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_access.html

thanks for your replies. both of you. but lets assume i am a duffer and u have to teach me how to do this. i cant understand a bit with mod_access. can u plz give me instructions on what to do.

Create a .htaccess file with that directive in it and place it in your root directory.

I already have a .htaccess file by default on many locations in my site. i am new to apache and phpnuke. i have to place a .htaccess file in the mysite.com/.htaccess bcoz my upload folder is in mysite.com/upload but i just dont know what code i have to put on it. OHH PLZZZZZZ can u post the code that i should put in the htaccess file.

Thanks for any help and plz help me out on this.

<Directory /upload>
  Order Deny,Allow
</Directory>
