Indexes

The Indexes section allows you to manage how directories are displayed when they don’t contain an index file. This is essential for both usability and security in web hosting environments.

Index Manager Overview

When users access a directory via browser and it lacks a default file (index.html, index.php, etc.), the Index Type determines how the contents are displayed—or whether they're hidden entirely.

The Index Manager lets you:

• View and edit index behavior per folder
• Navigate the filesystem
• Apply inheritance or override index settings

Directory List

Each row represents a directory with the following details:

Directory	Index Type	Actions
.autodiscover	Inherit	✏️ Edit
.tmb	Inherit	✏️ Edit
.trash	Inherit	✏️ Edit
certs	Inherit	✏️ Edit
public_html	Inherit	✏️ Edit
mydomain.info	Inherit	✏️ Edit
tmp	Inherit	✏️ Edit

Inherit means the directory will follow the parent folder’s index settings.

Actions

• Edit button opens a dialog to change the index behavior:
  • Inherit (default)
  • No Indexing
  • Fancy Listing
  • Simple Listing

Clicking a folder icon or name allows you to navigate deeper into the filesystem structure.

Use Case

Preventing directory listing: If a user visits yourdomain.com/tmp/ and there’s no index file, they might see all the files. You can disable indexing on that folder to avoid exposing contents.
