    I have some webspace which I use to keep random files. However I want to be able to get a directory listing when I type an address of a folder, so that I can see and download all the fiels within. Currently when I type mydomain.com/folder - if there is no index.html page I get:

    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access /fun/ on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/1.3.34 Server at zascar.com Port 80

     Is there any way I can change it do that I get somehting like this:
    http://www.kitkatsfo.com/illuminate/

    My host uses "Direct Admin - Web Control Panel".

    Thanks,

    You need to enable Directory Listings in your hosts control panel.

    Zascar - you should be able to allow a directory listing by creating a .htaccess file with the following line: 
    Options +Indexes

    The file should be called .htaccess
