Newbie: How can you hide your images directory?

[LarryM]

Hi,

I am a photographer creating my first website.
The images, *.jpg, will be put into a directory.
I will let the images be searched and displayed through ASP
and a MsAccess database.
Which is the best way to prevent users from downloading my
entire image archive?

Thanks
Larry

As we've pointed out on this ng before, it can't be done. If you put
your images on the web, they can be downloaded. A simple web
extraction tool can be used.

Just don't put the full quality resolution on the web. Let people just
see samples. Or "damage" the online versions in some way - typing
SAMPLE over them in PhotoShop, for instance.
