What if you use a UUID to name the files and that way even if the user knows the directory, they will never guess FILE NAMES.... And hopefully you have directory browsing turned off so they cannot view a list of files... I mean, what does it matter if they know the directory if they can't know the file names.

They are basically preview photos that are pulled from the members section and I dont want to give away the path even though you have to be logged in to get into that folder. But as I am making this section I think I might just do it a different way and then I wont have to worry about it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:247268 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
