Can you please tell me how to protect a directory using .htaccess?
Also, if you know any tutorials, please tell me the URL.

Thank you.

no.. you misunderstood it. I meant this:
say i have 10 images in mysite.com/images
cuz index.html doesn't exist, so people can see my file list. I just wanna disable that so people see permission denied instead. It's like this page http://www.searchbucks.com/cgi-bin

i believe that is a apache server setting - something about directory indexes

Couldn't you just chmod the directory 700? Or maybe 770?

Add

Options -Indexes

to the .htaccess file in that directory.
