stop a file called foo.bar from being downloaded with a web server ? Say you'r web site's name is foobar.net. ...and... Script-kiddy Johny knows that, but also knows that you'r secret file is called foo.bar and it is saved in the root dir. of you'r web site. in a http browser little Johny can simply type in http://www.foobar.net/foo.bar" to download it, since the web server (i am on) will trigger the clients download box to open, because its not a wrapped extension, or php, or htm, or so . I have looked into the .htaccess file and added the directive IndexIgnore *.* there'r millions of directives and i am looking at them now, But please tell me if there IS NOT a directive I can add to the htacces file to keep "little Johny" from downloading the file. Because then i might just look the whole day long for nothing !
