I think you need to change this a little

map $remote_addr $allowed {
default “off”;
1.1.1.1 “on”;
2.2.2.2 “on:;
}
and then in in the download location block

autoindex $allowed;
I use similar logic on different variables and try at all costs to avoid IF statements anywhere in the configs.

Subject: Re: Nginx Directory Listing - Restrict by IP Address

Hi Satish,
There are "if" constructs in nginx, please check http://nginx.org/r/ifhttps://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__nginx.org_r_if&d=DwMFaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=wvXEDjvtDPcv7AlldT5UvDx32KXBEM6um_lS023SJrs&m=fKmL-eoW-L4wbuOH4Cy1Z_3ZWkTmrmgNPGNe6O6FIV4&s=_hMwYrlV1QXfU7fEvfqx9BnEUgUoadjGtTqav5fo_7M&e=. if you want to allow multiple IP addresses, it might be better idea to use map. eg:

map $remote_addr $allowed {
default 0;
1.1.1.1 1;
2.2.2.2 1;
}
and then in in the download location block

if ($allowed = 1) {
autoindex on;
}
Thanks,
Prajith

Hi Team,

We have a requirement to allow directory listing from few servers and disallow from other ip addresses and all IP addresses should be able to download all files inside the directory.

Can somebody provide the correct nginx config for the same.

location / {

root /downloads;

autoindex on;

allow 1.1.1.1;

deny all;

}

If I use the above config, only on 1.1.1.1 IP address can directory list from this server and can file download but from other IP addresses download shows forbidden, due to IP address restriction

Is there a way to overcome this issue, thanks.

Thanks & Regards
Sathish.V
