1. Log in to your Contro Panel, scroll down to the Advance section and click on the ‘Index Manager’ icon.
2. The Index Manager enables you to control how directories on your website are displayed. If there is no index.html in a given directory, the content of that directory will be displayed in a browser. This is typically undesirable and can cause security issues. With index manager, you can set your account up to not allow your directory contents to be shown.
Navigate to the directory we want to setup Index Manager for
Lets set up Index Manager for the demo directory, by clicking the demo directory here
3. There are four settings to choose from :
- Default System Setting – allows the directory contents to be shown
- No Indexing – does not allow directory contents to be shown
- Standard Indexing (text only) – prevents browsers from viewing the contents of directories that do not contain image files
- Fancying Indexing (graphics and text) – prevents browser from viewing the content of directories that do contain image files
Remember to choose the option according to your needs. If you are not sure, just click on the default system and you are done!
