Hi Salvador,

  1. Yes, but in the Hosting Panel you need to disable Directory Listing.
  2. And make sure that you have an .htaccess file with those lines:
 ## No directory listings
<IfModule mod_autoindex.c>
    IndexIgnore *
</IfModule>

Ask Hosting Support for help if you cannot find 1st setting.
