How to show the whole file name while using .htaccess to list files in a directory?

My .htaccess file looks like this :

Options +Indexes

When I look at the directory from my browser, it looks like this:

File names that are too long are truncated, how can I make it show the whole file name?

Solution 1:

Easy! Just use the Apache IndexOptions directive in addition to Options +Indexes in the .htaccess file.

In your case this would be simple enough to show the full names of files:

Options +Indexes
<IfModule mod_autoindex.c>
  IndexOptions NameWidth=*
</ifModule>

The key for you is the NameWidth value which when set to a wildcard value of * will show the full length of the file and directory names.
