written by BoraParis on October 1st, 2009  

When you’ve done with Keyword Tag That Works it’s time to Protect Your Site Against Content Thieves. Pictures, Photographs, Files, CSS etc. They say if there is treasury the thieve has to be, it’s clear as a sunny day. It’s like if there is money, there are people who got them a lot.

When it comes to Making Money Online, it’s not a joke. As I told you already I like to dig in code of any website. I’m treasury hunter. I’m kidding. Seriously I’m wondering why some web-developers don’t bother about their assents. It’s understandable if somebody would like to steal they will do it. But you have to be prepared to prevent it.

The easiest way to get images, files (some kind of) and codes is just point folder in browser and get it. You have to create a plan how to avoid it. It’s easy when you know how to do this. Some web hostings do a great job to protect users from such activities without admin intervention, but some don’t.

When you have cPanel in your hosting account I would say you are not protected by default, but have a great environment to work on. cPanel is my favorite interface, but I have to set it up for my protection. Let me explain in simple words How To Protect Your Website From viewing folder’s content.

Well, you’ve done with your website and it’s time to think how to save it from any kind of attack. Log in to you cPanel, follow to Advanced section in the bottom of home page. There is Index Manager over there, click on the this image. Next window is Index Manager itself which allows you to customize the way a directory will be viewed on the web.

You can select between a default style, no indexes, or two types of indexing. If you do not wish for people to be able to see the files in your directory, choose no indexing. Hit the Folder Name (not folder itself, but folder name). Next window prompts you to select type of indexing. Select No Indexing, Save changes. DONE!

Repeat this step for each folder in root directory and you’ve done. Most people don’t know how to do this, now probably they can sleep well. I hope.
