Hide index directory files

[dwbrown]

Hello all, I have noticed that all files below the root directory of a catalog, say, /catalog/includes will display all files in a browser as a hierarchy of directory files all viewable from the browser. How to hide the files below /catalog? Please advise :-)

Either put a zero-length index.htm file in the directory, or change the directory permissions to disallow indexing.

Have a look in the tips and tricks forum somebody posted the fix for that problem

Read up on how to use .htaccess

 

In the meantime, place the following line in a .htaccess file in your top level directory.

Options -Indexes

This will turn off indexing of that directory and all sub-directories.
