Does anybody know of a good check-list summary type document/resource off all the best practices one should do to protect a public server.  We just recently brought the control of our web-server in-house (co-location) so we are now responsible for all of these little details.

Just copy them somewhere else, safe.  Specifically the /cfide/administrator/ folder and its children has to go.  Same with the /cfide/cfdocs/.

If you want to use the CF administrator copy them back.  No need to restart the server.

You can even use a batch file to make things easier:

c:
cd\
md c:\tee\hee\CFIDE\administrator
xcopy z:\fooh\administrator\*.* c:\tee\hee\CFIDE\administrator\ /s /e
c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe http://123.456.789.012/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

followed by this when you're done:

c:
cd\
rd c:\tee\hee\CFIDE\administrator /s /q
pause
rd c:\tee\hee\CFIDE\administrator /s /q

The duplicate operations are necessary sometimes to get rid of files locked for a few moments after exiting the cf admin

And of course, there's more you should do to secure your server than just this :D

Hope this helps,
