not really a mod question but , when i type in an url without the /ultimate.cgi i can see whats in my cgi folder , so can anybody else , is there a way to hide this all from anybody ? and how harmfull can that be ? i see a lot of forums where u can look into their cgi folder and i was wondering if thats the way its supose to be.

I have the same prob..People can look into my directory so If I upload a blank HTML file into the cgi-bin folder will it block users from seeing the files?

That's because you're not doing it right or you haven't refreshed your cache. Use the same blank HTML from your NonCGI folder and copy it to your CGI folder. It will work.
