REALLY simple login?

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

In unix/linux files that begin with a dot are hidden files. You should still be able to access them over FTP if you check you FTP client's settings to show dot files or show hidden files.

If you have ssh you can run the command:

ls -la

A fair number of FTP clients should have View settings to enable the viewing of hidden files. A google search for your ftp client and "view hidden files" should turn up the relevant tips.

I did that, but I still cant see it. how else can I block the viewing of the file? The only solution so far is with CHMOD.
