Question

i created a sub-folder under images folder in joomla. when i try to access the images folder through browser, i don’t see anything but if i try to access the sub-folder as http://localhost/joomla/images/downloads then the directory listing is shown or the files are visible.

now i wanna know how i can hide the files in the sub-folders too. i know how it is done via ftp software but don’t know how to do it in windows 7. something like chmod in linux

Answer 1

Joomla has blank index.html files in all its’ directories to that if someone tried to access a specific folder, they would see a blank screen, instead of a file tree. So create a blank index.html file and upload it to the folder you wish to hide the file names from
