security - disabling view of folder files from website -


if person goes site , type url www.mysite.com/admin/includes, webpage displays entire directory! how can stop this? of files in php though, if downloads files, they're blank, hacked website , i'm wondering if knowing directory structure helped them.

i need disable viewing of directory structures, while allowing display of images www.mysite.com/images/image1.jpg

in .htaccess file, insert following line:

options -indexes 

this prevent viewing of directory indexes, whilst allowing actual files pass through.

note must have allowoverride options set in config (this done in hosting environments).
