I have a website. Obviously if u just type in the name of it it displays the index.htm file in the root directory. i also have other sub folders containing the relevant grouped files. if the user types in www.website.com/foldername/ then internetexplorer displays the contents of it “Index of /foldername”. If i try this on big sites however i know that it displays a page of something like “not authorised to view this page”.
how do i make my sub folders the same. so that people dont havethe authorisation and cant view the contents of it? i know there are permissions on files and folders that you can change. but all they seem to control is if the three different groups: owner, group and others hav permission to read, write and execute. do i have to alter these or do something else?
