Short clarification and practical steps relevant to , and : the behavior you see depends on whether you are using an HTTP web server (browser access) or an FTP server (ftp client). "Access denied" can mean either directory browsing is disabled on the webserver, or the FTP account (or filesystem ACL) lacks list/read rights. The checklist below covers the most common fixes.

  • For an HTTP site (Apache or IIS): enable directory browsing on the site. Apache uses the autoindex module; adding Options +Indexes in the appropriate <Directory> block or .htaccess will allow directory listings (see the Apache mod_autoindex docs). In IIS use the Directory Browsing feature in IIS Manager (or the corresponding web.config setting) to enable listings (see Microsoft IIS docs).
  • For an FTP server: make sure the FTP user you log in as has Read/List permission on the folder (both in the FTP server config and in the NTFS filesystem ACL). If you want anonymous listing, enable anonymous login and grant that anonymous account read/list rights. If you use FileZilla Server, configure the users and shared folders and check the read/list flags.
  • Firewall and networking: allow port 21 (control) and the passive data port range your server uses. Test locally first (connect from the same machine to 127.0.0.1) to rule out firewall/NAT issues.
  • Bulk uploads: for large datasets, either copy the files directly onto the machine hosting the service (faster and avoids FTP session limits), or use an FTP client with recursive transfer or scripting (WinSCP or FileZilla Client). As a performance trick, compress many small files into one archive, transfer the archive, and extract it on the host if you have shell access.

If directory listing still shows "access denied", check the server logs for the precise permission error, confirm which account the server process uses, and verify that the filesystem permissions allow that account to enumerate the directory. For references see Apache mod_autoindex (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_autoindex.html) and IIS directory browsing configuration (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.webserver/directorybrowse/). For local FTP hosting tools see the FileZilla Server page (https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=server).

If it's hosted locally, just copy and paste everything into a folder on the site.
If there is no index page in the folder then looking at the site in a browser will show a list of all the files. Of course it would be better if they were organised in folders by topic. The web server configuration will determine whether it shows the list of files, or an access denied page. But as it's your site hosted locally, you can make it do whatever you want.

How can you configure if your webserver shows a list of files, or an acces denied page?
I need the list of files, but I get the acces denied page :)
