Allow indexing subdirectories but not root directory
I have a site where subdirectories are generated automatically, and need to be indexable under .htaccess
However, I don't want someone to be able to go to the root of these subdirectories and to view them all. I also don't want anything other than these subdirectories to be indexable.
E.g.
/ ~ Has "
Options -Indexes" (Non-Indexable)
/foo/ ~ Has "
Options -Indexes" (Non-Indexable)
/foo/bar/ ~ Has "
Options +Indexes" (Indexable)
/foo/baz/ ~ Has "
Options +Indexes" (Indexable)
It's not possible for me to generate an individual .htaccess file for every subdirectory individually, the system I'm using doesn't support it.

I guess I could add a redirect so if they visit the root (i.e. /foo) it just sends them away, but it seems like a half solution.

It's a closed source gameserver management system that doesn't let you change the template/generation method for these subfolders. It's taking files, compressing them, and moving them to subfolders in public_html, based on the server the files came from.

I'm assuming there's no other way to solve this problem (without possibly using the Apache config), so I'm just allowing the index recursively (i.e. from /foo), then inside /foo 's .htaccess file:
Options +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %REQUEST_URI ^/foo[/]?$
RewriteRule (.*) / [R=301,L]
To just redirect people to the homepage. Also put a meta refresh redirect in there just incase.
