You may be experiencing a mod_rewrite error for the server. Edit your htaccess file like the example below. For more detailed information: Apache Indexes restrict download file types

<Directory "/var/www/data01">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    IndexOptions ShowForbidden
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride all

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule !(.txt$|^$) - [NS,F]
</Directory>
