Re:

If the server administrator disables virtual directory browsing, people with
browsers cannot view the contents of a directory that doesn't have an
index.html, default.html or whatever else that server uses as a home page.
Further security can be gained by not allowing anonymous FTP or not allowing
FTP at all (which is what we do).
