how do you block people from looking at files on your site?

Like this:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /images/ on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

On a Unix server, you'd turn off read/execute permissions for the "Other" bit.
