Cable Forum - View Single Post - Webspace folder with no index.htm problem

murfitUK · 01-06-2006, 20:15

I used to have a folder on my ntl webspace called eg images. There was nothing in it but it was used so that a webcam could upload images whenever it detected motion.

I could view all the files in this folder while at work to make sure no one was in the house nicking all my valuable stuff. I could type in the address like this:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/username/images

and get a list of files in the folder whose filename includes the time the event was triggered eg
grab1002am.jpg
grab1345pm.jpg
Obviously, clicking on the filename would enable me to view the image.

I have noticed that in the last week I can no longer do this - get a 403 Forbidden "You do not have permission to access folder on this server". Tried it from work and at home - same thing.

Is this a change?

I can still access files in the folder but need to type in the full file name eg .../username/images/file.jpg but as I don't know at what time an image has been posted I can't do this as don't know what the filename will be.

Has anyone else got this problem? If so, is there a way round it?

Thanks.
