Im using Grid and Image Manipulations for creating 2 different sized images from original.
How I can deny access to original image, because with native way, original is very easy to locate by looking at the source code and dropping of part from the url what indicates the “thumbs”.

Is there a way? I need this so that no user can access to original file in my server.

Interesting question… 😊

I don’t think there’s a way without tinkering with the upload module itself.

If you don’t need the original image online at all, consider not uploading it in the first place. That requires preparing the images before upload, of course, but in the end this is quick and safe.

Or you could write image paths like this:

/image/?id=264

Then, in that template get the image for the supplied ID and display the size you want. The user will not see the actual path. (untested, but should work)

Bought Link Vault and I got the solution to this one.
