Yes, but....

Beware that you will only hide the directories on the same level. If you link to any object on any other level, the user doesn't have to guess directories any more, and he can browse at least a subtree. Put empty index.html-files (or even perhaps with redirects) everywhere.

If you're on an apache server, and it's configured to read .htaccess files, you can use it to turn off browsing for an entire subtree (if I remember correctly). However, what you can do with an .htacces-file depends on the server setup, so you have to ask the server administrators. Read all about .htaccess in this tutorial.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
