I am under the impression that you cannot prevent any browsing on NTL webspace.
You are correct - you cannot prevent people browsing your website. The default bahaviour if you try to access a directory that doesn't have an index page - is that you are presented with a list of all files in that directory. Putting up an index page - which can contain anything - can even be blank, prevents anyone accessing the directory seeing a list of the contents - it doesn't prevent them accessing the files - but would have to know the names.

Hope that clarifies.
