This is good info that I will pass on to my users as well, however… A good host would have had directory listings turned off by default. Hosts need to learn to secure their servers better even if it makes it harder for the average user to do things. A hardened server will not display a list of files if it is secured properly.

Seems obvious after the fact, doesn't it? Security through obscurity doesn't work if almost everyone has the same directory structure. Glenn Palmer's last blog post..What’s Retirement Mean to You?

Hi Barbara - Thanks for this. Someone had been getting into my blog because they've tried to change the password a couple of times. I've submitted this to Digg, so that others will get to know about it. Cath Lawson's last blog post..How Far Can You Go Before You Bump Your Head?
