Store sensitive downloads in a directory above the "web root" so they aren't accessible via a URL. Final Thoughts

To turn indexing (recommended for security):
A parent directory index, also known as a directory index or index of parent directory, is a web page that lists the files and subdirectories in a parent directory. It's usually displayed when a web server is configured to display a directory listing instead of a specific file.
Searching for "parent directory index of downloads" verbatim is usually a sign that a sysadmin is auditing their own server or a researcher is mapping a network. However, as a content owner, you should set up Google Alerts for "Index of /downloads" combined with your domain name to catch unintentional exposures.
