This feature in Apache is called "Autoindex". If enabled and allowed, it 
will generate a list of files in the given directory - provided there is 
no index.html or index.php (or similar) present.

We recently made this configurable via the GUI and the details of that 
are explained here:

In essence:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Under "Server Management" / "Network Services" / "Web" under the divider
called "Options" you have the checkbox called "Indexes".

If this is NOT ticked, then directory listings will now be forbidden in
everything under /home/sites/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

But you can also forbid it server wide and just selectively put an 
.htaccess file into directories you want to expose to the public. In 
that case just put this text into the .htacces file:

Options +Indexes

That should do the trick.
