Hi everyone! How are you all doing today .

Well, you know when lets say we have this link: www.blah/websites/boo/index.html .

When someone visits:

www.blah/websites/ they are able to see the whole list of content I got in there. My question is how do I make it so it says "Forbiden" and they cant access the directories like that.

Thanks,
kakarotto

What I do is make a blank index.html file.

Just create a Notepad file. Save it. Then rename it to index.html. Upload into the directory.

2 ways

1) turn off Directoy index in cPanel
2) place an index.php / index.htm file in the directory so apache loads that when someone hits the directory

Ehaanaes

Or edit the .htaccess file. (Don't remember the exact lines right now. But a search would find it i guess)

now would that be blah.com or blah.net?

Couple of options...

Upload a blank index.html file. All they'll get is a white screen. You could even make it fancy and actually say Forbidden yourself...

Option two, if you go into Index Manager in cPanel, you can turn the indexing off or on for any folder in your hosting.

I personally tend to just upload an index file... But that's just how the structure of my site always works out.
