deny access to directory listing using htaccess

I want to deny access to particular directory to show list of files in it in the browser. For example, If I go to the url, localhost/myproject/assets, it will show all the list of files in it, I want to deny that. And also if logged in user access specific file in it, for ex : localhost/myproject/assets/uploads/img/1.jpg then it should be accessible. Also how to deny access to a localhost/myproject/assets/uploads/img/1.jpg if that 1.jpg is uploaded by some other user.

I'm new to laravel ,Any help is much appreciated. thanks

You could add the following to the .htaccess file in the folder. This might help.

Options -Indexes

You cannot deny the access to the jpg uploaded by another user.

If you are using Apache, you can place a .htaccess file in the folder you want to block. Then you can use deny from all to block all requests to that folder.

This works because a .htaccess file can be in every directory in your web root, and only cares about the directory it is in and its subdirectories.
