Pro/Forums - View Single Post - Prevent directory listing of shared folders

Hi all,

I was researching a solution to a problem I am facing with my Snap Server 14000 when I came across this forum. I'm really hoping you can help me.

I need to make my shares available via HTTP. But I want to configure the Snap so that the web interface does not offer directory listings. If you know the file name you want, you should be able to download it. If you don't know it, you should not be able to browse a list of every file I have on my share, and select the one you want. Currently, if you click a share name, you get a list of directories in that share. Then, you could click on the directory name to see every file under it.

Do you know how I could prevent the directory listing? I have tried playing with permissions through the web GUI, but haven't had any success. There is also a config file, /flash/config.ini that has a "browsedir = yes" directive under the [http] section. Changing this to "no" doesn't help either.

Any suggestions/ideas?

Thanks!
