How to prevent people to see the top level directories?

I remember theres a way to prevent people from seeing all the files displayed in a directory view if they type in www.mysite.com/folder/...currently they see a list of all the files contained so they can just donwload. I recall it being easy to fix but can't remember where to change it - does anyone knwo?

 

the easiest way is to just create a blank index file.

 

Or write this in the .htaccess file :

Options -Indexes

Code (markup):

 

Awesome, that's what I was looking for, thanks

Thanks for the tip about the blank index file, never thought about that

 

No problem - that's what I used to do before I knew about .htaccess...quick and easy.

 

I put this simple redirect to the page I want to use. You can change it quickly to what you want.

<?php header("Location: http://www.online-resource1.com/videos.php");?>
<p>If you're not redirected to the proper page in 5 seconds,
<a href="http://www.online-resource1.com/videos.php" target="_top"><strong>Click
Here</strong></a>.
