yes, if the documents folder is not in your website directory, then it's fine (unless you do something daft like setup a virtual directory referencing this folder).
just the same logic as when you keep your databases outside of the website directory, so nobody can just type in http://www.yoursite.com/yourdatabase.mdb to download it. (you do this, right?) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ham.gov.uk To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: 06/05/2004 09:32 Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Security for documents Please respond to dev Ok - To make sure I have this correct I put all of the documents (15.6gb of doc, pdf, and xls files) out of the way of the web facing directories (e.g. C:\documents) I then refer to the documents using <CFCONTENT> Is that right? - Sounds too simple. Will this stop users from typing directly to the URL. I guess it must if the documents aren't web facing. I'll give it a try.
