However I just named a file: .settings right inside my document root
and using something like: http://www.mydomain.com/.settings
And Viola!!! My browser returned the contents of this file...
Nothing of importance...but still...what gives...if I had an htaccess file along side .settings...would it's contents be visible also???
I thought under linux and file prefixed with a '.' was invisble...???
Is this a problem with my shared host or is this just the way things work???
Should I contact my hosting company???
Cheers
