HELP--> MAJOR SECURITY RISK: You have not removed repair_settings.php!

[ohhhdear]

Help please.

Mashby is helping me with another issue and I thought I would try to run the repair settings.
How do I delete the file--- in SMF or my server, Bluehost?

I removed it from Bluehost. Is that what I am supposed to do? The warning went away after I deleted the file from Bluehost.

Thank you for any help.

you use ftp to remove it once you are done using it and dont put it back unless you need it for some reason.

[ohhhdear]

Thanks, I don't understand the ftp thing. I may be using it and just don't know it.

I do have the file stored on my computer--but I deleted the file on Bluehost, my server.

Is that right?

[Illori]

yes that is correct.

How do I use FTP? / What is FTP?

[ohhhdear]

Hallelujah!  I do know the ftp better than I thought.

Thank you for the clarification!
