I am really wondering why this option is not allowed by your hoster.
I learned that a server lists the content of a directory if there is no index.html / index.htm or index.php....
so "options -indexes" hinders this listing of files, that is a good security option, because nobody should see all files of a directory
To use this statement is a standard. I wonder what the reasons of your hoster are not to allow that.
What to do? You had to deactivate this directive. This means that now the content of your directory can be visible to everybody. I suggest to put an index.htm-file into these folders to hinder that
please ask your hoster seriously about his reasons and if you have an answer it would be good for our hosters-speciality-lists
