Hiya,
I'm on a shared hosting plan and making a site (asp) with lots of pages which I don't want users to be able to access by simply typing the url into their browser.
I've thought of a couple of ways to do it like seeing if the http_referrer was the page I posted from and perhaps moving the pages above wwwroot but just wondered if these are viable and if there are any other suggestions of ways to stop people accessing them?
Also how do I stop people accessing the images folder?
This is all bearing in mind I can't change the permissions on the folders.

.htpasswd and .htaccess
Those will make it able to get a user-login for a subfolder.
Grtz,
SaRs!
Thanks but that's for Apache hosting, ASP only runs on windows hosting

The link is for a WSAT, probably waaaay overkill for your needs.
Perhaps you can strip it down for just for what you need.
