htaccess. folder supports

[rahulsinghsaud]

i am using Apache server (xamp) in windows 2000.

i want to disallow user to list out the files in folders such as includes and images.

eg:
localhost/website/includes

in Includes folder i have connection files based on php and other files also.

what i want is when user type : localhost/webiste/inlcudes/ or localhost/webiste/inlcudes/connection.php

i want user not to access that folder using .htaccess.
Any one who can support me please.

I will be waiting for the suggestion

thanks

Rahul,

Disallow directory listing:

Options -Indexes

.htaccess to prevent http access (ignored by PHP's includes):

# put IN the directory you want to protect
RewriteRule .? - [L,F]
