restricting folder/file access except as served by website

Hi,

I would like to prevent someone from directly typing in the address of a file or folder, such as:
http://www.mywebsite.com/_Media

I would like to serve, for example, media only through the controlled channels of the HTML pages I create, and not make the files open for access directly. 

is this only done via one's hosting system?  If so, does anyone know how to do this with cPanel?

Is there a way to achieve this through Sandvox?

Thanks.

If it's an Apache server, take a look at

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/access.html

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5252 … figuration

and

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4653 … -of-an-app

Nothing to do with Sandvox.
