Question : Forbid users from opening a folder on a website

Hi,

I would like to forbid users from being able to log onto a particular folder. For instance:

www.example.com/folderA

where folderA contains main.html and image.gif

I would like the users to be able to visit the page itself but not able to browse in the folder itself.

Thanks.

Answer : Forbid users from opening a folder on a website

I don't think you can, htaccess can be use to display a custom page when there is a server error (like page not found 404) but since browsing a directory does not trigger an error I don't think it is possible.

Unless you got thousand of directories it doesn't take very long to upload an index.htm file (which is always the same generic one) in each folder.
