Hi from a begginer user of CI

Good point Daniel. This would also have the benefit of allowing you to organize your assets within the rest of your site, and not in a separate folder above the root directory. I just wanted to emphasize the point that it would be useless and wasteful of the server's resources for you to do this with your CSS/JS/design images.

Using an .htaccess will stop visitors from being able to access the contents of the folder, but your PHP script can still get it's contents and spit it out to authenticated users.

You still didn't answer my question about charging for nudies when they're out there for free
