How to stop certain files being accessed

[guccij]

OK so that thread's been pulled for obvious reasons.

Instead, here's how to block certain files from being accessed by any tom, dick*ead or harry:

Open up your .htaccess

Paste in the following:

<Files ~ "\.fil$">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>

You can change the .fil to be anything you want.

You can do something similar for .htaccess itself.

I hope this change means an Actinic site will still function?

It should be fine. This change simply blocks al http requests for this file type. To my knowledge Actinic accesses these files through the server file system in perl rather than through http.
