I get 403 Forbidden error when viewing directories in my account.
I have to show my directories to someone for a short time.(I have a software bug and he wants to see my related directory if there is a wrong thing during installation or something else)
How can I do that? and can I do it for a specific directory?

Edit: No need to see the directory, directly files can be downloaded. Thanks anyway...

Upload a file called ".htaccess" (if you do not already have one) and add the following line:

Code:
Options indexes


This will only work if you do not have an index.html (or .htm / .php etc) in the directory.

Hope this helps.

I have found on a few setups where :-

Code:
Options Indexes


has not worked, not sure why i guess it's just down to different server setups and software versions, if you experience any problems try this :-

Code:
Options +Indexes


it has worked for me in the past.

Also Depending on your httpd.conf / apache2.conf settings you can disable listing of directory's using :-

Code:
Options -Indexes


Htaccess is great!
