WebDAV Tutorial: a warning

WebDAV Tutorial: a warning
Yes, it's a bad idea to have the password file in a publicly accessable directory, but the .htaccess has to be there to protect the directory (unless you do it in the httpd.conf).
WebDAV Tutorial: a warning
You hit the nail there: the .htaccess file is publicly accessible. Not only that, it has to be read by the Apache server, so every user -- or scripts uploaded by users -- can read it. The "invisibilty" offers no real protection, it only hides the file from Finder view. Unless you change the file permissions to exclude the Apache server from also altering the file, your system is wide open! |
