   Hi everyone,

   I have my blog on http://www.mydomain.com and files I upload to use there go on directories like http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/2009/11/filename.

   If a user notice that and copy this link, they have direct access to the file. But if he/she erases the /filename, then they'll get access to all files, including ones not used in any posts yet, and maybe never to be used.

   Question: Is there an easy way NOT to display this directory style page, and return to the main page (or any other one) ?

   Could copy the index.php from wp-contents folder into each of those sub-folders.

   Essentially that file is a php script that does nothing

   <?php
   // Silence is golden.
   ?>

   Or this .htaccess trick which I just tried in the uploads folder
   

   # Don't allow directory browsing
   Options All -Indexes
