RE:

No, you did not let anyone change your files by letting them see inside of
your directory.
If they would click on a file it would have been shown to them just like as
if they asked for it by a link.
They could have seen any hidden files that were not open to the public (I
have several of those on my servers)
They could not have changed anything.

Usually when a file name is incomplete you get an error (404) file not
found.
most of us who have www. prefixes are telling the server to serve up an html
page, if you omit the www. on some servers you will see the index. : (

I changed my original file dyager.html to index.html and it now directs me
to my home page instead of to my directory.

Now, let me ask this.  Since you all had the opportunity to look at my
directory, I now feel like I allowed myself to be open to violation.

Could anyone have changed my files, stole my files, etc.

What could some of the ramifications of that directory being open like that
be?
