er... a momentary flash of anger rose in my breast and well...
there it is, I am only martian after all... think twice about
introducing me to anyone else... you can't really take me
anywhere... homicidal rages just come brimming to the surface at
the least unwelcome suggestion...

You know anything about .htaccess files? They work too much for
me: I want only that they block the directory view of the file
system on the server. What happens is this: I read carefully the
tute I have on this thing. I carefully put .htaccess file on
server in the directory I want or sometimes at the top level to
apply to all folders, with just

Options -Indexes

in it.

The effect is it works but a day or two later, I can't access any
of the actual files inside either. Or immediately, it has this
effect. I know all about getting it on servers, the name right in
the end and so on. But I am generally miffed. Maybe I need a
better tute? It is just this directory view block I want. Any
ideas?
