"Allow" specifies who can _read_ the folder and has nothing to do with sending a directory listing or not. From the Apache FAQ, paragraph 19: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ-E.html#indexes --------------------[quote]-------------------- How do I turn automatic directory listings on or off? If a client requests a URL that designates a directory and the directory does not contain a filename that matches the DirectoryIndex directive, then mod_autoindex can be configured to present a listing of the directory contents. To turn on automatic directory indexing, find the Options directive that applies to the directory and add the Indexes keyword. For example: <Directory /path/to/directory> Options +Indexes </Directory> To turn off automatic directory indexing, remove the Indexes keyword from the appropriate Options line. To turn off directory listing for a particular subdirectory, you can use Options -Indexes. For example: <Directory /path/to/directory> Options -Indexes </Directory> --------------------[/quote]-------------------- To disable indexing completely, simply omit the "Indexes" option on the document root directory. What happens if e.g. the /images/ directory is accessed, a "Forbidden" response is sent: --------------------------------- Forbidden You don't have permission to access /images/ on this server. --------------------------------- -- >O Ernest E.
