Some CS users want to display the contents of a directory (located under their public_htm directory), however, CS has directory indexes disabled sitewide (to prevent people from inadvertently disclosing files by accident).
But, you can still display the contents of the directory using one of two methods:
Method 1: Using an index.html File
You can create an index.html file that contains links to the contents of the directory.
Method 2: Using A .htaccess File
You can add a .htaccess file to the directory with the following contents:
Options +Indexes
The settings in a .htaccess file apply to the directory it is in and to any of its subdirectories (recursively).
and you are not using an index.html file in that directory, where the index.html file has links to the contents of that directory.
