Issue
i created a sub-folder under images folder in joomla. when i try to access the images folder through browser, i don't see anything but if i try to access the sub-folder as http://localhost/joomla/images/downloads then the directory listing is shown or the files are visible.
now i wanna know how i can hide the files in the sub-folders too. i know how it is done via ftp software but don't know how to do it in windows 7. something like chmod in linux
Solution
Joomla has blank index.html files in all its' directories to that if someone tried to access a specific folder, they would see a blank screen, instead of a file tree. So create a blank index.html file and upload it to the folder you wish to hide the file names from
