folder permissions on hosting

[imported_KuJaX]

Hey everyone,

I will hurry and explain what I want to have:

I want to upload a bunch of screenshots and files onto my server while i'm on vacation so that I can view them. I want to be able to just type "http:www.<domain>.com/screenshots/" and see all the folders and files listed. However, when I do this now, I get a "403 Forbidden" error. Is there some permissions I have to set, or like a dynamic index.php that will automatically always update whenever I upload new things? Thanks!

Well, the host probably has directory listing disabled for security reasons... You may just want to just install something like Gallery, that way you dont need an FTP program while you're on a remote computer, you can just login to gallery and upload with that.

well, even if the host has universally disabled the directory listings, isnt there a way to change that for my application? like .htmlaccess or something? I would do what you said, but I upload about 30mb of pictures a day, and wouldnt want to do it with some silly browser uploader. :|

Create a file called .htaccess with the following line:

options +indexes

That should do it 🙂
