Yes. Anyone with an internet connection can see it. Try this:

http://www.sexyethnic.com/fs/asians/ap/

Compare that with the folder into which you just put an index page:

http://www.sexyethnic.com/fs/asians/ap/508/

Do you see the difference?

An index page goes in EVERY folder.

Slight hijack here, but related, so I think it's OK.

Sometimes it's not practical/desireable to put an index.html in every folder (image folders etc.). I know how to prevent directory listings in .htaccess with IndexIgnore *, but is there a way to send the nosy bastards to a custom 403 page (preferrably an easy way using .htaccess)?

It's amazing what a little googling can do.

Simply add Options -Indexes to your .htaccess and anybody snooping around image folders etc will get a 403 error. At least it works just dandy for me.
