Re: Protecting directories from prying eyes
ruud, I’ve tested Gallery2 and it puts the image directory outside the web root with a fancy .htaccess file and uses a php script to grab the images, so I can relate to your earlier post.
The example .htaccess above doesn’t include all the directories, like /include or /lib, is it because these are safe to leave open or because it would cause problems?

Re: Protecting directories from prying eyes
What my .htaccess example does is deny access by default and grant access only to the files mentioned. Since /lib and /include aren’t mentioned, you can’t access them. (just corrected a mistake, because you don’t need access to publish.php)

Re: Protecting directories from prying eyes
ruud, I uploaded your .htaccess into 5 sites running 4.0.3 and 1 site that’s running what is to be 4.0.4 and I have no problems to report.
I uploaded an index.php to /files and /images containing 1 line:
<code><?php header(“Location: ../”) ?></code>
Now I feel better, thanks for taking the time.
