hide or disable "Index of /..." pages

Hi,

I have just noticed that a lot of my website content is exposed and end users can see the “Index of /…” directory listings e.g.

Index of /do…/…./…./….

I have trawled the www and this forum for a fix for this but I can’t seem to find one. Can somebody help me with this?

• I have tried to change the file permissions to 644 on the server but these files then become inaccessible!
• I could dump an index.xxx into each sub-directory, but this would be cumbersome.
• I tried to download a tool called “Leech” which I thought might help, but alas the download URL was not correct.

Thanks,

Tobey

Part of my .htaccess says #Options +FollowSymLinks#Options -Indexes<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> and threw that Options -Indexes in but it wouldn’t work. Is there any specific format/arrangement I should use?

Just remove the #.
