2006-06-13 11:02:00 PM
Hello..2 questions.
#1 Is there a way that anyone can view the directory structure of our home
directory? For instance , the directory structure is easy to view on most
domains like this :
www.mydomainname.com/folder/
but is there a way to view the directory structure of just
www.mydomainname.com ?
#2 Also, is the best way to protect these directories through a .htaccess
file?
thanks
John

If you want to give an example, use example.com/org/net - that is what
they are there for.
on a per directory basis without restarting the server.
There are numerous different ways to "protect" a webpage, some
protecting in different ways, some protecting against different things,
it depends what you want to protect against and what the capabilities
of your server are.

automatically.
2. Turn on auto generation of directory indexes
How you do 2 depends on what the answer to 1 is.

puts all their own files, a bit like "My Documents" in Windows XP. I don't
think you're really asking for people to be able to view that. Often the
files for your website is stored in a folder called public_html, which is
inside your home dir.
What I *think* you're asking is how people on the web can get a directory
listing at the root of your web server. If so, which server do you use? If
it is Apache you probably can do it using the .htaccess file.
