How can I turn off directory indexing?

In the directory that you wish you turn off directory indexing, you can do it under Index Manager in the control panel or by creating an .htaccess file and include the following line:

IndexIgnore */*

To turn off indexing in all directories create a .htaccess file in your root/main directory (before public_html) and add the following line:

Options -Indexes


To enable it create an .htaccess file with the following line:
