Hidden files in published folders

M

Matthew

Hello, sorry I pressed enter too early. I would like to know if there is a way to make it so if someone types in the address that opens a folder not a webpage that certain files within the folder are hidden so they can't see them. I have created a password protected folder with a web page with links to certain files that are also within the folder. My problem is that if they just type in the folder address they see a screen like this http://www.indywestwrestling.com/sample.JPG. I only want them to be able to see the webpage link not the files so they dont get confused. Thanks for your help . Matt

Add a page to the coaches folder called index.htm or default.htm That way
when they type in coaches/ they will get the page instead of the file list.

Contact your host and have them disable browsing for your web site.
