Not too difficult. It might be easier if you had directory listing
access to the directory the files are in. In Apache, that would be
something like:
<Directory /path/to/pics/>
Options Indexes
IndexOptions FancyIndexing
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from All
</Directory>
This could also be password controlled via .htpasswd file.
AuthUserFile /path/to/pics/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Protected Files"
AuthType Basic
And then 'Require valid-user' could be added to the directory indexing.
Without indexing, you would have to parse the page(s) for links to pics
and process them for new ? files or whatever criteria you are using to
detemine whether to D/L.
FTP access to a directory that contains only files that you could
D/L via HTTP anyway shouldn't be any sort of problem security wise.
