This is pretty OT for this list. Still, it might be a common problem, especially if you are unfamiliar with basic security precautions for an http server, and are running one on your gaming server for http-based gaming downloads specifically. The above hitting-nail-with-atomic-bomb approach distresses me. Simplest option is to turn off directory indexing, with .htaccess, as hinted at in an earlier reply. e.g.: Options -Indexes See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#options Then if someone tries to access a directory on your webserver, rather than get a list of everything below it, they get an error message. You should put that in your .htaccess file at the root of your web server, because you almost certainly don't want indexes generated for any directory on your server. Unless you like folk leeching maps, images, textures, etc, from you...
