+Publishing a Directory on the Web
+=================================
+
+The Question
+------------
+
+[2024-04-10]
+
+Suppose you want to publish a directory tree on the web, so that
+it may look and function like, e.g. HTML-front-ended FTP site,
+such as <https://archive.debian.org/>.
+How to do this?
+
+Some use cases:
+
+* Jekyll-based Gitlab pages prevent such a directory listing,
+  although local Jekyll server doesn't prohibit such.
+  Perhaps for security reason to prevent automated crawling
+  and harvesting.
