You can also put a blank/advertising or redirecting index.html file in each directory, that way it will show that page rather than the file listing.

Stripping the referrer is as easy as copying the link and pasting into your address bar, and hitting enter. There's really no reasonable way to do this in a fashion that will work in every case. A referrer check will solve most of the problems, but if someone wants the files on a public webserver and they know the url, they're going to get them. -- Erik Hollensbe [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
