make sure their permissions don't allow it. This can be done through .htaccess in the apache supported systems.. or through the ACL in Windows machines.

could you give me an example? should permissions be set on folder?

how could I use htaccess. also, if htaccess is used. is there a way to set the htaccess file so it can't be accessed from the folder?

chmod will work or if you have some thing setup such as site.com/viewpage.php?page=

you can just str_replace . and / and they wont be able to go back directorys
