Forcing .sh, .c, .cpp as Text Files

If you are presented with a download window when you click on a .sh or .c file, you may force the content to be a text file on apache by putting the following lines in your .htaccess file: 

AddType text/plain .sh
AddType text/plain .c
AddType text/plain .cpp

Hiding Specific Files from Directory Index

To hide specific files or directories from the directory index, use the IndexIgnore directive: 

IndexIgnore hidden_directory
IndexIgnore "secret stash"
IndexIgnore hidden_file.html

As you would expect, enclose directory with spaces with quotes.

Restricting Access by IP address

To allow certain IP address access: 

Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 172.20.1
Allow from 172.18.1

Enabling Directory Index Header

If you want your directory index to include a header file, use the HeaderName directive: 

HeaderName header.html

Enabling/Disabling Directory Index

To enable: 

Options +Indexes

To disable: 

Options -Indexes

If the above doesn't work, ensure that your apache configuration allows override on directories. Eg: 

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>
