From Team NetObjects member Prakash Thadani came up with this method of keeping folks from looking in directories that you just don’t want them looking in - it’s pretty cool, no? :)
Folks,
we all know that in the absence of an Index.html file in a folder visitors get to see the directory structure of that folder, to me that is unprofessional and also unsightly.
I have a simple index.html file that redirects up one level to the index.html file in the higher level.
What I do is put this file in every folder that does not contain an index.html (like assets, autogen, images, etc) it sends the visitor trying to get to www.domain.com/assets or /html etc. to the home page.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=../index.html">
<TITLE>Error Forwarding Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#ffffff" LINK="#ffff00" VLINK="#80ffff">
<TABLE border=1 HEIGHT="100%" WIDTH="100%">
<TR ALIGN="CENTER">
<TD ALIGN="CENTER"><H1>
You have come to this page in error.
</H1>
<H2>
You may wait to be transported to the
</H2>
<H2>
Home page of this site or <A HREF="../index.html">
Click here</A>
</H2>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY></HTML>
... you will want to change the parts that read “../index.html” to lead up to the appropriate URL if you are publishing your site organized in a way other than “by Asset Type”, or if you put this file in a directory more than one level down from the “Home” page (you can add a “../” to the beginning of this path for every additional level down your folder is)
