: Allow directory listing for subdirectories only I am using webspace hosted on IIS 7.5 (according to phpinfo() ). Currently, I am enabling directory listings for a directory and all its subdirectories

Yes if you allowOverride and then add a new web.config file in the folder you want to disable.

So in your parent folder web.config should look like this.

<configuration>
<location path="." allowOverride="True">
<system.webServer>
<directoryBrowse enabled="True" />
</system.webServer>
</location>
<configuration>


In the folders you want to disable directory browse the web.config should look like this.

<configuration>
<location path=".">
<system.webServer>
<directoryBrowse enabled="False" />
</system.webServer>
</location>
<configuration>

If this works in a similar way to Apache, then you could simply create an index.php file (or whatever your directory index file is) in the directory that you don't want to see a directory listing.
