Hello, I was just wondering, since I don't have mysql, I want to put a file-based database in a directory. Is there a directory below /www/.../htdocs that I can put files that I don't want to made available to the public?

Yep, and it's called unreadable.

I'll elaborate that a bit Wink.

1. Create a directory "unreadable" in your root. Root is your first place you see when you log into FTP or file manager.

2. Now place or move any file or folder you want inside it.

3. That's it. It's 100% protected from Search engine spidering or anyones eyes, except you and your accounts files.

I recommend you CHMOD "unreadable" to: 777 or 770 (same as 777)

Which is possibly a default setting for everyone's "unreadable" directory ? Possibly even in the apache conf file for the virtual host ?

I once had a hard drive clunk-clicking
Strange noises, weird sounds and tick-ticking
I thought I would wait
And procrastinate...
But now all my data is missing
--------------
dd, a dump, a data dump
read a line from standard in
$USER, the name I call my self
make - a long long time to run
.so a library that is shared
.ko it's not the same as .so
tee, a redirect with in and out
and brings us back to dd d d d

Yes, as only the server can look in it.
