hi thanks for reply,
is the only possible option ?
If, for example, I want to add these lines in my htaccess file:
Options +Indexes //this is allowed
and authentication /this is not allowed
should I check if each line work or not ??
for all the folders I need to change config ?
thanks

I would start off simple and test the one you are most confortable with, then build up from there.
You will need to put the htaccess file in the root of all the relevant folders. Child folders will inherit from their parents.
