    Note: Do take backup of your .htaccess(hypertext access) file.

    01. Search for a file named .htaccess(hypertext access) in the webroot of your server (FTP) and can be easily edited using any text editor (like Notepad). Open it and add below code in it:

    Options All -Indexes

    02. Save and you are done.
