Shane,

Thanks for your idea. I tried to do what you suggested. Indeed you can chmod the file/directory, but it seems to have no impact on the directory listing. The file (and directories) are owned by "admin". Doing a "ps" shows that Apache is also run as "admin". Since it is the same user, I can't think of a way to work the permissions so that Apache can't list the files. (what I'm implying is that I think the GUI uses the permissions of Apache to list the files, rather than the anonymous user who just browses the website).

What do you think?
