Express not loading in URL

I currently have an express server I'm running based on the express tutorial.
Here is my code for server.js
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 3000
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'))
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}!`))
the server.js file is in a directory on my server:
http://myurl.com/node-webshot/server.js
I start the server with: npm start
and get this:
> webshot@0.18.0 start /home/myurl/node-webshot
> node server.js
Example app listening on port 3000!
when I go to my url: http://myserver.com/node-webshot/
I see the directory listing only:
note "myserver.com" is just a fill in to path for working folder.
My expected result would be that when I go to the roof of the file where server.js is loaded that it would show the "Hello world". Not sure what I'm missing here.

I see your comment works, not url where I was pointing to. Since I placed server.js file in specific folder I was calling that route. @xan_z

you don't call your server side files/code - they are served by the server based on the routes you have. - and hence you invoke the routes based on the server IP/DNS and port - followed by the route - as you have only one get route of '/' - that is the only thing which can be done with the above code for now.

Is there anyway to expose the url path with out using a port? For example I'd like to just go to the url like this "myurl.com/node-webshot" @xan_z
