The Index Manager enables you to control how directories on your website are displayed. For Root Web click settings then select "Web Root" then click "Save changes"
If there is no index.html file in a given directory, the contents of that directory will be listed in a browser. This can cause security issues. With Index Manager, you can set your account up to not allow your directory contents to be shown.
Let's setup Index Manager for the private directory.
There are four settings to choose from. The "Default System Setting" allows the directory contents to be shown. "No Indexing" does not allow directory contents to be shown. "Standard Indexing" prevents browsers from viewing contents of directories that do not contain image files. "Fancy Indexing" prevents browsers from viewing contents of directories that do contain image files. Since we do not want the contents of this directory shown, we'll choose the "No Indexing" option.
That's it! The index settings have been updated, and visitors can no longer view the contents of the private directory.
