What happened?

Whenever a file gets uploaded and saved with $file->move(), it doesn't only save the file in the specified directory, but it also creates an empty index.html file, every time.

I found this issue, but appending a slash at the end of the path didn't solve my problem.

Steps to Reproduce

Basically, all I am doing is saving the file with move():

$filename = $file->getRandomName();
$file->move("path/to/uploaddir", $filename);

Expected Output

To just save the file without adding empty, unrelated files.

Anything else?

This is by design - to increase security if you store files in a publicly accessible directory. It will prevent all files in the directory from being displayed (listed) if the server configuration allows it.

Oh, I see. I couldn't find that information in the documentation, so I thought it was a bug. Thanks for the clarification, I will close this issue then.
