[users@httpd] Letting users see directory contents of protected directory
Dear list members,
On a shared hosting linux webserver running
Apache I have a password protected directory. I want users who have the
password for the directory "/downloads" to be able to list the contents
of that directory and its subdirectories.
I have an .htaccess file in the password protected directory /downloads with the following contents:
Options Indexes
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Access to /downloads"
AuthUserFile /kunden/homepages/18/d249834675/htpasswd
Require user Ikari
I
thought the Options Indexes line would allow me to do that, but when I
type in: www.xxxxxxx/downloads/ in the browser I get Error 403 "You have
tried to access a document for which you don't have privileges. Before
I put "Options Indexes" in the .htaccess I got an Error 404 File not
found.
Could someone tell me how to set it up so users who have
the password to the directory can list, view and download the contents
of the directory.
Many thanks,
Harry Spier

Many thanks for this suggestion.
I've tried both the following in the .htaccess but I now get a Error 500 internal server error
IndexOptions ShowForbidden
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Access to /downloads"
AuthUserFile /kunden/homepages/18/d249834675/htpasswd
Require user Ikari
and
Options Indexes
IndexOptions ShowForbidden
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Access to /downloads"
AuthUserFile /kunden/homepages/18/d249834675/htpasswd
Require user Ikari
Thanks,

Harry,
You use IndexOptions ShowForbidden and let you user auth once they click
on the resource.
