just a quick easy fix but drop an index.html in there that says "leave me alone"
also there is a way to set directory listing to false but it depends on what webhosting software is being used and if you have access to make that change

A patch is a piece of software which replaces old bugs with new bugs.

You can also use .htaccess if your server is running Apache. I haven't looked through it in detail, but there's a guide here:
