"No Peeking" into my directories

[operator]

Hi,
I have seen "No Peeking" pages on some websites when I try to look into a directory (for example a directory of images). Rather than get a list of files that exist in the directory, a page is displayed with a message such as "No Peeking". Is this done with mod_rewrite?

I would like to implement this into a site of mind that has an extensive photo gallery system. However, I want to receive traffic from Google Image Searches, so would like to know if this would affect the Google traffic.

Thanks for any response/help.

Just put an index page in the folder. Don't need rewrite for it.

Ah yes, of course! Thanks!

op,

Use Apache's DirectoryIndex to set the default page for a directory and/or Options -Indexes to forbid a directory listing.

Hmm... thanks to you both for the info.
