Hi, quick question!

All i want to do is when people go to a specific directory like mydomain.com/images i want them to be able to see the contents of the directory rather than get permision denied like they currently do.

Thanks

You have to change the permissions on the webserver to allow browsing.

In IIS you have to go into IIS, right click the directory you want to allow and tick the allow directory browsing tick box.

This does mean that if it's a hosted site you will have to send them an e-mail or if the have a good hosting control pannel that allows it.

Khan is exactly right (as usual? :p). If you're trying to achieve what you mention here on BarrysWorld, however, I believe it's unlikely the relevant settings will be changed for you.

That said, it may well be possible to create a simple PHP script which could generate a page similar to what you describe. All you would then need to do is place this PHP script in an index.php file (or equivalent) and place a copy in each of the relevant folders.

Kind Regards
