Some ntl webspaces, e.g., taking the first one listed in ntl's 'Customer Directory' merely for the sake of illustration:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/eric.brooks/

show a 'Index of /<username>' style of presentation, which lists the entire webspace structure.

Some ntl webspaces, e.g. taking the second one listed (again, merely for the sake of illustration):

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/allan.aldred/ do not. (This second example is a normal homepage.)

Others, e.g. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stevewhittle, show a error 404 'page cannot be found', which commonly indicates a lack of any webspace content.

I'm very confused about all this. Does the existence of an index.htm page override the display of the webspace structure? How does one make the entire webspace structure and content invisible to the casual viewer?=

newbie regards
flangeway

P.S. I intend to use the excellent WS_FTP LE as my ftp uploader.
