Re: [cobalt-users] How do you turn off directory browsing

That's no stupid question. ;)

When you call up a directory which has no default file (e.g.
index.html or so), there are two possibilities:

directory browsing yes: the user sees all directories and files you
have, e.g.

        info.html
        users/
        documentation/

directory browsing no: the user gets a "forbidden" error message

Hope to help!
