Hi @SirReaper
So you’re just using the builtin feature of Apache for directory listing? Meaning, you’re not running some application like WordPress/etc.
Then you can use the .htpasswd to put restrictions on the directories you want.
There’s a little tutorial for using .htaccess in conjuction with .htpasswd:
