- Default System Setting – Enables the default setting that your host provider set up.
- No Indexing – Does not list the contents of the directory and displays a messaging stating that the content is forbidden.
- Standard Indexing (filename only) – Lists the contents of the directory as filenames only.
- Fancy Indexing (filename and description) – Lists the contents of the directory as filenames and a short description of each file containing information such as file size.
