Thank you very much

That's the reason why people install a webserver with internet access --> other can access the files. Or not?

yes you are correct but i think I miss explained myself what I meant is that lets say if I want to display my avatar image which I have it in my image folder, and someone just types my addle/images he can browse the image folder, this is what I meant I thought if they try to browse the my.address.no-ip/images it will not be able to browse it.

Thanks for your help

put a ".htaccess" in this folder:
Code: Select all
Options -Indexes

This is the correct way

put a ".htaccess" in this folder:
Code:
Options -Indexes

But the html page is very simply and works ok !!!!!!!
