In everyone of my /images directories (and, some others) I put:
<HTML><HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#CC0033" ></BODY></HTML>
I do this to cover the exposure to the web host(s) from flip-floping
the Indexes option on any server re-configuration or upgrade.
Got exposed that-a-way one time years ago....

They _have_ to have access to it! The browser (the user) has to
download the css file to apply it. But, you could put the dummy
index.html in "css/" to thwart people who would attempt to easily
browse all your css files.
