How to stop directory browsing on my website

[cmanley]

Hi I'm wondering how to stop or block people from accessing my files or directory browsing on my website.
For example, when i type in www.mysite.com/images/ it displays/lists all the files that are in the images folder. how do I stop this from happening?

Thank you

You can put an blank index.html file in your image directory, or you can go to the "advanced" section of your cpanel and click on "index manager". It's self explanatory.

I think for this you must go to edit your script, then such kind of problem never happen but most of the people do not like to change the content once they developed the website. And also do testing before the launch this kinda things reduced such kind of threats in the future. I even test my prestshop themes before launching in order check for the purpose of great visibility and to control the collapse in the future.

Simple. Edit your site's .htaccess file to include the following.

~/public_html/.htaccess

RewriteEngine On

Options -Indexes

I tried doing this and it still is not working. Not sure if I did something wrong or if it is because I am using Free Web Hosting, but is there another way I can go about stopping directory browsing if this method is not working? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
