Subject: [BlueOnyx:07875] Re: How to disable directory listing

 

 

I have a site that does not have an index.html in the root. It's intended to
be referred from another web site that specifies the file. However, when the
URL is entered without the file name, a listing of the contents of the
directory is returned. Other than creating an index.html, is there any way
to disable the directory listing?

 

Thanks,

You can disable  directory browsing, but it'll just return a generic no
access or not permitted error. My thoughts are better off writing a simple
index.html stating "no filename specified, please confirm your request and
remember file names are case sensitive" or something along those lines.
Could save you a lot of support phone calls.
