chmod 700 and htaccess deny from all enough?
- by John Jenkins
I would like to protect a public directory from public view. None of the files will ever be viewed online. I chmoded the directory to 700 and created an htaccess file that has "deny from all" inside it. Is this enough security or can a hacker still gain access to the files? I know some people will say that hackers can get into anything, but I just want to make sure that there isn't anything else I can do to make it harder to hack.

I am asking if chmod 700 and deny from all is enough security alone to prevent hackers from getting my files. Thanks.
