The
Index Manager enables you to control how directories on your web
site are displayed. If there is no index.html in a particular directory,
the contents of the directory will be displayed to the browser.
This is usually undesirable and can cause security issues. You can
set the four different options for any directory through the Index
Manager:
-
Default
System Setting - Use the system setting for your hosting
machine. This is set for all directories by default.
-
No
Indexes - Do not use any indexes. Any browser that
accesses this directory will see a list of all files in the
directory.
-
Standard
Indexing (text only) - Prevents browsers from viewing
the contents of this directory. The browser receives a 403 (Forbidden)
error. This option should be used for directories that do not
contain image files.
-
Fancying
Indexing (graphics) - Prevents browsers from viewing
the contents of this directory. The browser receives a 403 (Forbidden)
error. This option should be used for directories that do contain
image files.
To
change index settings for a directory:
-
Click
on the Index Manager button on the home page.
-
Navigate
to the folder that you want to alter and click on its name.
-
Click
on the radio button next to the option that you want to use
for this folder.

Click
on the Save button.
