Hey guys, I have a lot of pictures that I would like to upload.

I want to make a folder open to the public. How can I make that folder not private into a directory so that they can see all the files in that folder

Thanks

I don't know anything about servers
At my school, we each get hosting space adn they tell us to add a file called "htaccess" or something like that. i can't remember exactly and makes it an open directory. Is there a way to do this same thing with my hosting space with godaddy?

Here's an example of what I mean, which is at my school
Index of /~priyad/Egypt

have you tried it ????

just upload the files and type the address to the folder into your browser.

If it doesn't work put a .htaccess file in the same folder NOT the root with the line

Options +Indexes

in it. This should enable directory browsing for that folder (and any below it) only.

Oh yes, I tired it plenty of times but it's not working.
http://greenvillecopts.org/gallery/Yardwork
http://greenvillecopts.org/gallery/Y...k/htaccess.txt

I have tried it as ".htaccess " and "htaccess "
I have tried having " Options +Indexes" and " Options + Indexes" (added a space after the + sign)
Ialso tried having Options Indexes (this is what I used on my other site)

Tired those combo's with ".htaccess" and "htaccess"

Not sure what's going ...

Does your .htaccess end up with a .txt extension ? or are you adding that for the forum to see it ??

there should be no space after the "+" sign.

two options;

Ask your host to enable directory browsing. Best of luck with that one from GoDaddy

write some code for the default page to read and display links to the files in the folder (assuming you can run php.

Well it shouldn't have. That's where the problem is

It's just .htaccess

htaccess IS the extension.
