How to hide files

[aswx10ho]

I have been coming across to this issue where if I enter just the folder name, it would display all my files inside. I would like to disable people from looking at it as I may have some cookie cache files which are sensitive. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

You need a .htaccess file in your root directory (public_html) with the line:

Options -Indexes

You may already have a .htaccess file, in which case all you need to do is add that line at the top or add -Indexes to the Options list if there is already an options line.

optionally, you can create a simple index.htm file that would be served rather then the list of files you have. In that index.htm you could put some navigation links to where they are supposed to be looking
