Htaccess in 2 dirs

[Owdy]

Hello

I have these in packages and cache dir

Code Select Expand

<Files *>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Files>

Why those are in there?

[aegersz]

you should have the same in your attachments dir (and any other dirs that you have in place below for primary web dir).

it stops people from being able to view your internal files if they try to specifically navigate to that directory by doing:

Code Select Expand

https://your-forum/attachments/ ... or ... https://your-forum/packages/

they should be denied and get a 403 error:

Code Select Expand

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /attachments/ on this server.

Ah, right. Thanks =)
