Hi

My  current site is constructed as

root
root/connections
root/books

with  connections holding the db connections inc files for the php
scripts
                and
                books holding all the scripts and image directories etc

I would like to prevent the connections directory from being
downloaded/accessed for obvious reasons.

It seems I can prevent access by http:// via my hosting service
passwording the directory but this doesn't seem to protect against
website nabber programs such as black widow and the rest (or does
it?). Some guidance would be much appreciated. Should I construct the
site layout differently perhaps? Maybe put the connection directory
in its own subdomain?

regards

Melanie

(growing more paranoid the more I get into this web site security
issue)
