0















My OS is Ubuntu and web server is lighttpd. I have a image hosting site. Images uploaded by users on my website are stored in /var/www/html/site1/uploads. I want to encrypt the uploads folder so if someone hack my site or get access into my server will not be able to delete or see the contents inside the uploads folder but I want the images to be visible when a visitor visits the link of any picture. For example http://example.com/uploads/any-uploaded-image.jpg will show the picture. Even <img src="http://example.com/uploads/any-uploaded-image.jpg"> will also show the picture.
How can I do that?
