- Select Web Root or the domain name or subdomain you want to view. ClickGo once selected. (Selecting Web Root will allow you to see all the publicly visible folders on your account.)
- Click on a folder icon to look inside. Click on a folder name to change it.
- To disable directory indexing, change the setting to "No Indexing".
To enable directory indexing, change the setting to anything except "No Indexing".
