By default, it enforces canonical URIs; meaning HTTP redirects will be issued for requests to directories that do not end with a trailing slash (to add it) or requests to files that have a trailing slash (to remove it).

Most often, the `file_server` directive is paired with the [`root`](/docs/caddyfile/directives/root) directive to set file root for the whole site. Most often, the `file_server` directive is paired with the [`root`](/docs/caddyfile/directives/root) directive to set file root for the whole site. A site root does not carry sandbox guarantees: the file server does prevent directory traversal, but symbolic links within the root can still allow accesses outside of the root.

- **browse** enables file listings for requests to directories that do not have an index file. - **browse** enables file listings for requests to directories that do not have an index file.
- **root** sets the path to the site root for just this file server instance, overriding any other. Default: `{http.vars.root}` or the current working directory. Note: This subdirective only changes the root for this directive. For other directives (like [`try_files`](/docs/caddyfile/directives/try_files) or [`templates`](/docs/caddyfile/directives/templates)) to know the same site root, use the [`root`](/docs/caddyfile/directives/root) directive, not this subdirective. - **root** sets the path to the site root. It's similar to the [`root`](/docs/caddyfile/directives/root) directive except it applies to this file server instance only and overrides any other site root that may have been defined. Default: `{http.vars.root}` or the current working directory. Note: This subdirective only changes the root for this directive. For other directives (like [`try_files`](/docs/caddyfile/directives/try_files) or [`templates`](/docs/caddyfile/directives/templates)) to know the same site root, use the [`root`](/docs/caddyfile/directives/root) directive, not this subdirective.
- **hide** is a list of files or folders to hide; if requested, the file server will pretend they do not exist. Accepts placeholders and glob patterns. Note that these are _file system_ paths, NOT request paths. In other words, relative paths use the current working directory as a base, NOT the site root; and all paths are transformed to their absolute form before comparisons (if possible). Specifying a file name or pattern without a path separator will hide all files with a matching name regardless of its location; otherwise, a path prefix match will be attempted, and then a globular match. Since this is a Caddyfile config, the active configuration file(s) will be added by default. - **hide** is a list of files or folders to hide; if requested, the file server will pretend they do not exist.
