Hi,
I would like to know the best way to block people on the web from seeing the files in a folder...it is a unix server...

i used to put a index.htm file in the folder but will that block a list of the files?

Thanks

Yea, it would.

Another method is to put a file called .htaccess in the directory with the following:

Options -Indexes

hi mark! thanks for that quick response..

I was thinking there was some other file..

i noticed when i setup a password protected directory using my control panel that the .htaccess file is automatically generated by the server for password authentication..

i have a lot of zip files i dont want anyone to see after they are uploaded..

thanks

Greg
