Protect images from direct link... is it possible or not?

[etolosa]

Dear all,
not sure if it is possible to do or not to save pictures out the public html folder to avoid direct link for private galleries.
I have been surfing the forum, and i got some information but it was from 2008 !! .. In latest version, for joomla 3, is it possible or not?
I need clarification from developers.

Regards,

Hi, this is possible for files in Phoca Download, in Phoca Gallery, you should use some methods like .htaccess, etc. are
