I've seen most people leaving their content open. They set all images in images/ directory and forget to add index page to hide the content!

To hide the content if index page is missing, Add the following in .htaccess file preferably in public_html directory as it applies to child directories as well

Options -Indexes

To override above in child directory, Add in child directory

Options +Indexes

You get 403 error if someone tries to access it. Once you place index page, that page will be displayed properly.

Nice tutorial ^^;
htaccess is good for denying access to anything in the folder as well, and only allowing the website to include it from other parts. ^^;
