For several years, I've had a link on my baseball league page called: League Files

Oldtimers League (http://www.tresclub.com/otl2.htm)

I upload my online baseball league files to this folder on mysql08 server, and my managers can then download the files.
Something has happened in the last couple of days that gets this page when clicking on the League Files link:

Directory has no index file.
Browsing this site or directory without an index file is prohibited.

This league_files folder on the server hasn't been changed for years. It is still chmod'ed 755.
This is the code that has been working all these past years:

<a href="../league_files/" class="top_links">
<font color="white"><b>League Files</b></font></a>

It was working fine prior to Christmas. Would going to the new year have caused this problem?

This line Options +Indexes in a .htaccess file in that directory (league_files) will get rid of that message.

Yes, but will the zip files in the folder be accessable?

Basically a directory listing of the files will be shown.

Clicking a filename.zip file will prompt an - Open - Save - Cancel - dialog box.

As far as a recent change to that directory, I believe PowWeb has been working to clean up some security holes on their various servers. There have been a few changes that I have noticed that just happened recently.

This didn't work for me. I had to create an htm file as a work-around until I can get the directory/folder access problem fixed.

Isn't there a setting in OPS somewhere too which will bypass this issue? Parts of OPS are blocked for some reason at my current location so I can't poke around.

Yes there is, here, http://ops.powweb.com/webControl/htaccess/, labeled Open Directory Browsing.

I thought the subject of this thread was an old Elton John song. :)
