I’m not entirely sure if I understand what you mean, but if you mean that visitors get an index listing and if you’re running Apache you could add the following to your .htaccess file

<IfModule mod_autoindex.c>
    Options -Indexes
</IfModule>

Thanks,

@Gandalf

<IfModule mod_autoindex.c>
Options -Indexes
</IfModule>

Of course you can remove the if statement from that once you know it works.

I recommend you to move the folder away from the “public”, so it will not be accessible. If you bump into a folder that gives you a forbidden message you will be curious about the content. It’s better if the folder does not exist If it’s something sensitive you can get the content with PHP.

LE: To complete my answer, google may index files from your folder and you cannot restrict the download unless you deny the access; in this case, there is no point to keep the folder public, just make all downloads available through a PHP script that serves files by request (if the user has access and any other restrictions you need).
