Limiting access to folders in addon domain?

I recently added a domain to my site for a family member.

The problem I am having is the access for the sub folders.

On my site you can't type d47hnb.com/images and see the contents of the folder “images” but on the add-on domain you do.

I am guessing it has to do with .htacess? If so how do I rectify this? Any help would be appreciated as I have no clue.

thanks

Apache's documentation is NOT by ANY means easy to understand from a beginers point of view. So here is my answer which I think and hope will help you...

Apache includes many options. While you may not have access to the master settings file (httpd.conf) on shared hosting you SHOULD have access to the .htaccess file.

Now just stick this in the file...

IndexOptions +FancyIndexing

Regardless of it's complexity, here is the documentation page (with additional goodies)...

[httpd.apache.org...]

You may be running Apache 2.X, if so do a search for Apache 2.0 index options.

Hope this helps!
