it's probably security problem.

it can be .htaccsee to take you back to the default index.php if he cannot find any thing, or directory permission is not allowing you to see the content of the directory.

you should echo the file path in a loop if there is more files to download.

hope it helps.

agreed with Omerbutt and Canabatz, showing directory listing is not a very good idea, it can create security hole.

you better write a script and show the list in a technical way so that user cannot see from what location you are downloading
