I just read the htaccess tutorial, although I use it for something else that isn’t described.
I use it to allow surfers to see a list of files instead of an error page when there’s no index page in a folder.
For example: http://www.butchersinaction.com/schampi/cpp/
Dunno if you think it’s useful but I had been wondering for a long time how I had to do that.
The way to do it:
Just make a .htaccess file with this in it:
Options +Indexes
