You may have visited one of your webpage\u2019s URLs and found a list of files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Index<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is a <\/span>directory index<\/b>. It displays a list of the files in your directory when you visit the directory\u2019s URL. This will only occur, however, if you haven\u2019t established a homepage. Showing the directory index is the default behavior, but you can easily turn it off by going to your directory\u2019s web settings.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiding or Showing Your Directory Index<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, you must determine what directories you want to hide. Keep in mind that directories are hierarchical. If you hide the directory index in a top level directory, it will affect the subdirectories, as well. If you wish to hide the top-level directory, but don\u2019t wish the subdirectories to be hidden, you can go through and change the subdirectories with the same method as changing the top level directories. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
