Automatic favicon in subdirectories and files

Recently, my friend provided me with disk space on his VPS and gave me usage http://IP/czdavid/. Currently, I do not need a domain name, as it will serve me as a file-sharing site.

Now the problem is that it has its own icon in the IP root, and browsers look for it there. I can solve the problem on separate pages using <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico"/>, the problem is that the list of directories and actual files - images and text files and others open in the browser - will show the domain icon.

Is there any way to set favicon for the entire subdirectory, except to get the domain name?

No, It is Immpossible.

favicon.icowill be extracted from the root of the site, if not specified in the element linkon the HTML page.

The only way I can think of is to use the rewriting capabilities of URLs on a web server. At least in the case of apache, it would be possible to create a set of rules that would provide a different icon depending on the referrer from the request.

But this is an ugly hack and only works if browsers do send a referrer asking for an icon.
