UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 Mod Questions security

not really a mod question but , when i type in an url without the /ultimate.cgi i can see whats in my cgi folder , so can anybody else , is there a way to hide this all from anybody ? and how harmfull can that be ? i see a lot of forums where u can look into their cgi folder and i was wondering if thats the way its supose to be.

Just upload a blank HTML in there.

I have the same prob..People can look into my directory so If I upload a blank HTML file into the cgi-bin folder will it block users from seeing the files?

works like a charm , thanks

Didn't work for me I made a txt file, renamed it to html and When I uploaded it I could still see what was in my cgi-bin folder...

That's because you're not doing it right or you haven't refreshed your cache. Use the same blank HTML from your NonCGI folder and copy it to your CGI folder. It will work.

That worked perfectly...Thanx XTC..Now my UBB is a little safer!
