You could add a .htaccess file in the folder with the following line in it:
Options -Indexes
Or (if your site doesn't run on Apache or you don't have override permission)
index.html file in the folderOr
put an index.php file in the folder with the line:
<?php header('Location: some-other-page.html');
Upload a file called 'index.html' to the directory 'images'. Your server is displaying this message because it is unsure which file is the index file.
Below is a template for your html file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>404 Error</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>404 - Page not found</p>
</body>
</html>
