Morning,
I keep getting email from Google with regards this page.
https://www.theremotedoctor.co.uk/m-...ilref/?C=D;O=A
The page in question is only for my quick reference.
If you go here https://www.theremotedoctor.co.uk/index.html then click on the UK SELLER icon this is where i have placed it.
Attached is what i am being told each time so looking to fix this issue.
Hi there theremotedr,
your link..
https://www.theremotedoctor.co.uk/m-...ilref/?C=D;O=A
...actually points to a directory, not a page, and worse still,
gives a visitor access to all of its contents. :eek:
I would cure that by placing an index.html file in all
directories of a similar nature.
Here is an example on my site...
https://coothead.co.uk/images/
A very quick look at your site shows these unprotected
directories...
- m-images
- emailref
- css
- js
- favicon-logo
Here is the code for an index.html file that you could use
to protect your vulnerable directories...
Just change the wording to suit and add styling to yourCode:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<base href="https://www.theremotedoctor.co.uk/">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,height=device-height,initial-scale=1">
<title>No peeping</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon-logo/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" >
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/latestChanges.css" media="screen">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hi there peeper !!</h1>
<div>
<p>I know that you are just being inquisitive but I would</p>
<p>rather not let you view the contents of this directory.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
latestChanges.css file.
As for your Google problem, you have not defined the
offending page(s).

Hi,
Ive read it a few times but a touch confused as to where i am to place that code ?
Hi there theremotedr,
- amend the wording of the code that I have supplied.
- save it as index.html.
- place a copy of it in each of the vulnerable directories I listed,
- test that it is working with links like this..

Hi,
Ive now done as advised,clicking the links then shows the message.
With regards Google the page in question was that Directory.
See attached screen shot.
Ihave now removed the link so when you click on the image nothing happens.
The reason why it was there is because some people would say to me, can you advise how i can get HON 026 to work ??
Now i have no way to know what item is HON 026, Hence i would click the image then select HON 026 hyperlink & voila up pops the item in question.
Can you advise maybe the same thing but maybe with a password box etc ?
Did i explain ok for you.
Thanks
Hi there theremotedr,
what is HON 026?
Is it an img file,an HTML file or something else?
Alternatively, can you remove the index.html file from the emailref
folder temporarily, so that I may see the actual contents again.
I will then meditate upon the problem to see if I can come up with
a suitable solution.

That was an example of a part number from my site.
Some people just quote me a part number and I have no idea what the item is.
So that directory just had part number hyperlinks that went to a HTML page.
In that page it showed me a photo. The part number & the cost.
I’m not home at present but will check once in.
Hi,
Index file now removed.
The main reason is when i am out & about this was a quick way of looking at the part number in question.
Otherwise it would need to wait until i got home.
I suppose anything password protected that i could apply the password to then see this data would work.
Thanks
Hi there theremotedr,
save this code...
...as index.html and place it in your emailref folder.Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<base href="https://www.theremotedoctor.co.uk/">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,height=device-height,initial-scale=1">
<title>Part Peeper</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon-logo/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" >
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/latestChanges.css" media="screen">
<style media="screen">
body {
background-image: url( m-images/background.png );
text-align:center;
}
h1, p {
color: #009;
}
form {
display: inline-block;
padding: 2em 1em 1em;
border: 1px solid #009;
background-color: #fff;
font-size: 1.25em;
}
input {
width:90%;
margin: 1em 0;
font-size: 1em;
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Part Peeper </h1>
<form action="#">
<label for="part">Enter part number</label><br>
<input type="text" id="part" placeholder="( Form: Honda006 )" ><br>
<input type="button" value="Show part">
</form>
<p>
Remove the placeholder="( Form: Honda006 )" and this
line if you don't want visitors to see the part
</p>
<script>
(function( d ) {
'use strict';
d.querySelector('form').reset();
d.querySelector('input[type="button"]').addEventListener( 'click',
function() {
location.href = '/m-images/emailref/' +
d.querySelector( '#part' ).value +
'.html';
} , false );
}( document ));
</script>
</body>
</html>
Hopefully it will meet you requirements.

Hi,
It doesnt seem to work for me.
See example part number in screen shot.
I keep seeing File not found (404 error)
If i type HONDA 020 then press the Enter button im taken to the home page,only come across this by hitting button by mistake.
oTHERWISE I CANT GET ANY NUMBERS TO WORK
MY mistake sorry.,
Now i got it working
Hi there theremotedr,
I have just tested your page...
https://www.theremotedoctor.co.uk/m-images/emailref/
...and it is working OK for me. :D
Make sure that there is No Spacing in the input - Ford002 and
that you are not using the capital "O" instead of the number "0".

Just a thought.
Is there any reason why i cant rename these files called INDEX
I ask as my home page is INDEX
Its just like me to do something to one page that then has an effect on the other because of the same name.
Hi there theremotedr,
the index.html file is the root file of the directory.
A link to a directory like...
https://www.theremotedoctor.co.uk/m-images/emailref/
...that does not have an index.html file or other protection
will, as we have discovered, display the entire contents of
that directory.
I hope that this explanation helps.
If not, I will try to find a link that might explain it better than I. ;)
coothead
Nope that’s fine and I understand.
Thanks for the time works great.
No problem, you're very welcome, :D
I did find a link though...

...just in case my explanation fell short.
