This is configured on the HTTP server. Usually 2 things
affect this:

  1. Does the driectory in question have an index.html file
     (or whatever equivalent specified in the server config)?

     If yes, then the content of that file is "served".

  2. Does the configuration allow the directory in question
     to be automatically indexed?

     If yes, the server generates in index from the "list"
     of files in the directory.

     If not, there will be an error (usually "not found" -
     aka 404) or some other default action depending on the
     server configuration.

Automatic directory indexing can be configured on an
individual directory basis, with subdirectries inheriting
the settings from parent/grandparent/.../server-wide.

There are also settings to control hoe the indexes are
generated.

This should all be in your server documentation.
