Does anyone know the htaccess code to stop users listing folders and files in directories on the server?

You don't need to use htaccesss for that. If you can't access your server config files, just make sure that every directory has an index.html file.

No, there's a way to do it with a line of code. I've seen it once before, but can't remember it.

At the moment I've got index files in every folder - what a waste of bytes!

I know there's a way. Maybe a Google search will bring it up.

EDIT - found it! Try this:
