When I went to upload.ipaska.com and click on what's been uploaded this month, I keep on getting the message:


Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /012003/ on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

How can I view what's been uploaded to upload.ipaska.com?

At the time, nothing. The Admin/Webmaster sets who can access what directories of their website.
Here's an example:
http://www.oldversion.com/ takes you to http://www.oldversion.com/index.php.
In the above example, oldversion.com (http://www.oldversion.com/) is using .php instead of .html or .htm, which are file extensions that represent Web Pages.
index is the first or main page. The index.html (or index.htm) file is displayed instead of the directory listing, which lists all files (including files you may or may not want people to get to.


Confused about .exe .asp .htm .html .com .gov .org?
Read this article at Ask Yahoo! (http://ask.yahoo.com/):
How many file name extensions are there, such as .com, .html, .gov, and what do they mean? (http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/19990209.html)

Read this article at HowStuffWorks.com (http://www.howstuffworks.com/):
Do you know why some Web pages end in htm, others end in html, others end in asp and so on? Why all the different extensions? (http://www.howstuffworks.com/question226.htm)


So by keeping an index.htm or index.html in every folder of your website will prevent people from getting to your files/folders.
Let's use oldversion.com's first image on their main site:
http://www.oldversion.com/images/logo.gif

The URL for it is: http://www.oldversion.com/images/logo.gif
If you were to enter this URL in your browser, you'll see just the image, however, if you broke down the URL to the image by taking off logo.gif, you'll be left with this: http://www.oldversion.com/images/.
Take a look at /images in http://www.oldversion.com/images/, that's a folder. Normally, clicking (or entering this URL in your browser) this URL would take you to the directory listing of /images, but the webmaster(s) don't want us to see this so they disable it using the administration options that are provided by their web hosting service. That leaves you with a "Forbidden You don't have permission to access /images/ on this server." message.

In this case, the webmaster(s) at ipaska.com (http://www.ipaska.com/) disabled access to /012003/ (http://upload.ipaska.com/012003/) on upload.ipaska.com (http://upload.ipaska.com/) by accident. Whoever did must have not have realized what they were doing.

By the way, if want to view what's been uploaded this month? (http://upload.ipaska.com/012003/), you can.
