Directory Listing thingy.

How can I make the files on my homestead account show up this type of format ?

well if you don't have an index page there it will show up in that type of format.

It doesn't. But, oh well, I just did this instead.

This thread can now be closed.

it is a matter of your host, or your server settings. If you are running apache, then you can do this:

in your httpd.conf file:

< directory /path/to/your/dir/you/want/to/index >

Options +Indexes // this adds indexing - which is what you want.
Options -Indexes //this stops indexing

< / directory >


One thing to note, if you are hosting this on the web, then indexing is not a good idea. Reason is, if you ever log script kiddies, you will start to see them probing directories and trying to hack through one to get to your ./passwd files. for example. ftp is the better method of this type of thing, or like what you did and do a direct link via a http page.

edit ****
on a iis server it is just a matter of a property you can set in the virtual host properties. I forget the exact property.

In IIS, there is just a check-box on the Home Directory tab that says "Directory Browsing"

I make an index.php that lists the directory. :p

Does Homestead allow ASP? I've got some pretty bad-ass directory listing scripts that resemble Windows Explorer, including uploading functions and such.
