Blocking access

[maclancer]

Hi guys, I am trying to block access to my folders, for example; If I go to: www.creativasales.com/download/ you still have access but you are unable to see the files, what I want is to block the access to all my folders, including "download". I had setup .httaccess but that's not enough for folders, how to do that?
Also if someone know how to block the access to softwares like "Offline Explorer Enterprise" which allow anyone to download an entire website and this can be dangerous business for anyone who have a download store and someone is downloading for free your products, thanks!

I think you are being overly zealous. The program can only download the html that a browser sees. It can not get your php files.

you should also be able to move your downloads folder above the root.

would require changes to the configure.php files
in the includes/configure.php change

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
  define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

to

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', '/home/username/download/');
  define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', '/home/username/pub/');

and in the admin/includes/configure.php

change

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

to

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', '/home/username/download/');

this will let the admin verify the file is in place and you get the little green light



* replace /home/username/ with your actual server paths.....

thank you guys, what I did was to add "RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F] " into the .httaccess inside of "download" and problem fixed!
