htaccess question

[kong]

I tried a search but couldnt find it.

Anyone know what to put in .htaccess to stop a directory listing from showing up if there is no index file?

Thanks,
Kong

Actually, the easiest way is to chmod the directory so that only you have read permission. This will prevent others from listing the directory contents.

No, the easiest way is to add Options -Indexes to your toplevel .htaccess.

Actually its in the server config and you host can remove open directory browsing or you can use a index.cgi to bounce them out.

I personally drop a fake 404 into every image or other browsable dir.
