Download Iremove .ds Store Files 1.5 For Mac

DSStore Terminator 1.0 - Removes.DSStore files in a directory. Download the latest versions of the best Mac apps at safe and trusted MacUpdate.

Perhaps one should also add .DS_Store to the IndexIgnore line. I would use something like this:

IndexIgnore *~ *# HEADER* README* RCS CVS *,v *,t .DS_Store

This would prevent .DS_Store from showing up in the index.

Even better. Disallow anything starting with a dot.
# Disallow viewing of .DS_Store, .FBCIndex etc.
# These files are internal to MacOSX but are a potential security risk
# so basically we don't allow access to ANYTHING that starts with a dot
<FilesMatch '^.'>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
</FilesMatch>

Would any of these suggestions prevent Apache from displaying a directory listing if someone were to try to access http://myipnumber/ or http://myipnumber/~myuserid/ without specifying a file (e.g. index.html) in the url? Or is there a way that I can force a url to the directory to access a specific file or alternates?
Thanks,
Lou

Add '-Indexes' to the document root Directory container. Ricoh driver for mac os 10.11.

Paragon ntfs kickass. Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software supports ALL the versions of NTFS (from Windows NT 3.1 to Windows 10). Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software is able to get access to compressed files and folders, it has no problems with sparse files and enables all the needed operations with files and folders with security permissions.

Yes, Lou, there is a way!
Apache allows you to tell it what it can or cannot show when it is asked to serve a directory without any index page in it. The details for what else you can ask Apache to do in such a case can be found in the Apache manual. The URL on your computer will be:
http://127.0.0.1/manual/
The keyword will be 'Indexing.'
To stop index listings being created, here is the shortcut if you want it right away. First edit the Apache Configuration file, httpd.conf with:
sudo pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
And add this block of text to the end of the file:
# Don't allow any files in an index listing of the directory
<Directory /Library/WebServer/Documents/*>
IndexIgnore *
</Directory>
# end of index limiting
I think this will solve your problem in the shortrun. For more complex matters, you can use the indexing commands in Apache to actually point to a generic index.html should a directory not contain one.

I'm running Apache on Linux box but work remotely from a Mac, so the same situation applies to me, too.
I've noticed that I also have files that start with a colon, too. Maybe it's a by-product of netatalk AppleShare file server.
Anyway, I appended this to the IndexIgnore line:
.* :*
It seems to take care of both cases. BTW, I MUCH prefer not showing the visitor something that they shouldn't have access to rather than let them see it but forbid them to access it.
Much more tidy.
Great suggestion.

those filenames which begin with a colon are netatalk's way of displaying non-ASCII characters such as a bullet (•), which Mac users often use to force custom sorting. I don't know how to translate the numbers, but netatalk has always done a good job of preserving these 'think different' filenames for me. In the OS X Terminal, non-ASCII characters are displayed with a '?'.

Does anyone know how to prevent the serving of invisible (example: Icon) files with the Mac OS X FTP server?
