Hi Doug,
So does that prevent crawling and browsing, but does allow if I
click a link or include a file it will work?
No, it prevents the directory and all files within from being served
by the webserver at all. Anything else is either half-secure or half-
broken
I don't understand what you mean by "crawling", "browsing", and
"include a file". They're really all the same thing: A client (be it
Firefox or GoogleBot) is asking the webserver for something.
If you want to prevent the nice robots from asking for something,
you can use a robots.txt file. This will not prevent naughty robots
from asking for something.
Lets think about this a different way.
Say I have a directory of files that contain my MySQL connection
information, queries, etc, etc.
How do I prevent people from browsing the directory but allow the
files to still be used when I include them in a page. Say to connect
to MySQL.
