WordPress wants its upload directory to be world writable (not wild about that) so I'm hoping to use something like .htaccess or similar commands in the httpd.conf file to limit writing to those with a password, but still let the world able to read the files.
So basically I want anyone to be able to see the posts and images in the blog (text is no problem since that's mysql based) but the images are in an upload directory that I want to password protect uploads, but still let anyone see the images. The only hint I've found so far is mod_rewrite, but that seems a bit heavy handed.anyone got a suggestion? /brian chee
