 * Hi,
 * Is there a way to get WordPress to disallow directory browsing in any of the 
   upload directories? In order to hide a particular directory I uploaded an empty“
   index.html” file, but is there another way that keeps any such directories from
   being browsed?

 * In your .htaccess file add:
    `Options -Indexes`
