PHP - 拒绝文件夹访问没有直接链接到文件？

Question

I am creating a file hosting website. I would not like people to access the directory

public_html/quick/files

unless they have a direct download link from uploading a file. How would I go about this?

For others: To rephrase, deny permission to index all the files.

Answer 1

Create a file named .htaccess in public_html folder with this content:

Options -Indexes
