x10hosting shows all contents of a folder!

[drf1229]

Did anybody realize that if you type in the url of a folder on your website, x10hosting shows and gives access to all the files in the folder? This scared me, so I immediately moved all of the files to the root folder. Is there any solution to this?

Add a blank file to each directory called "index.html". Infact, that is supposed to be the name of your homepage anyways.

Oh thanks!

add a .htaccess file and switch it off...

1. Enable/Disable Directory Listing

To have the web server produce a list of files for such directories, use the below line in your .htaccess.

Options +Indexes

To have an error (403) returned instead, use this line.

Options -Indexes

yes, i think using index pages to hide them aren't very clean, use .htaccess when ever you have something like this, a good site i found for .htaccess is http://corz.org/serv/tricks/htaccess.php. Good luck!
