Try just http://web.xxx.com/~lina/ Some web servers, when told to serve a directory, will provide a listing of the files in the directory; some will check for index.html first. I'd suggest talking to the webmaster for web.xxx.com and seeing how the web server is configured. If the link I provided above gives you a listing, then look at either turning that feature off or countering it with an index.html page. Once that's done then, no, it should be difficult to find the page without knowing the direct link. However, don't mistake this for security. All it could take is for someone to bookmark the page and suddenly the page is "known". By the way, I shan't make any judgements on your hosting provider looking like a porn site :)
