Protecting Directories From Prying Eyes

[bbb]

If a directory does not have an index.html, index.php, etc. file, how can i prevent the directory contents (ie- files) from showing if somebody types in the url of that directory?

 

Example:

www.mysite.com/folder

 

where 'folder' has no index file in it

 

Thanks!

Hello BBB what you can do is log into cpanel and password protect the directory by clicking on Password Protect Directories

Also BBB,

 

There is a Index Manager within Cpanel which you can turn off indexs so you cannot see the directory
