Hello everybody..!
I have a question..!
How can I bypass a index.htm file, in a folder, in the purpose of viewing the contents of the folder.. ?
For example, if i have http://www.something.com/tbone/index.htm, and i want to view the contents of the folder tbone, how can i do it..! The host my domain is running on, is running a cgi script, that for protection, creates a blank index.htm file in every folder..! I want to display the contents of the folder..! How can I bypass it.. ??
Thank you..!
I don't know if you can. There might be some sort of browser setting to not execute any files. It wouldn't matter if you could bypass it if the directory was set to rwx--x--x, then you couldn't see the contents anyways. That is probably how they have it set up. You may try a google search, but I'm sure they have taken more measures than just making an index.html file.
It`s just the index.htm file..! I mean, i can access files with any extensions in that folder..! I can download mp3`s, view txt, htm, files..! It`s just that i can`t view the contents..! I want to upload lots of music, and other files, and use the default 'no-index' apache browser..! It`s much easier that modifing html pages, with links & stuff like that..! It`s just that annoying index.htm file..!!! If i delete it, every time somebody loads the page, it appears again..! :(
use FTP instead.
or write your own index.html file that has a cgi script to display the directory listing.

I'm kindof lost, is this your server or something. From what you just wrote it sounds like it's your server.Quote:

If you can change the attributes of the files for your website, just change the index.htm file to take of the execute attribute so that nothing is executed when you go to the site and the directory is just displayed. You probably won't be able to do this though, in that case do what Juridian said.
It's not his server from what I've read, he wants to display the contents of the folder given to him by his hosting provider. I'd recommend actually talking to your provider about how you'd be able to do what you need.
Ok people..!
Thanks for helping..!
I sent an e-mail to the provider..!
Thanks..!
Generally the index.html file is what webserver is set to display if there is one. If there isnt then it will usually display the contents. Check with your host. Most webmasters want the index.html protection. Basically its just for a little added security so people cant go and see what is in their folders.

usually the server itself is configured as to what is the default file to show. its usually also configured not to allow browsing. so unless you name a file you'll get nothing but the default page even if you delete the file and just point your browser to the folder you'll get a server error page telling you that you can't browse the directory. if it is your site you can up load a text file with all the files listed or make an html page with links to them all and call it by name. your host isnt going to allow browsing just for you
The server has a cgi script so it shows a blank index.html instead of a 404 or no permission or whatever error.
The only way to stop it is to get have the hosting provider stop it...if they are willing. Considering he wants to upload music, you can be pretty sure that the hosting provider will not allow it, unless he is uploading his own music, not things that fall under the RIAA
