making a secure directory on a personal web space ?

so ive got a bunch of stuff i simply dont want anyone finding on my personal web space… including all the songs i dl ( music company lawsuits = bad)

what do i have to do to make sure this stuff doesnt get found by people intentionsly trying to find stuff on my webspace, or by people using a search engine to find info on “metallica” ?

if you look in the ftp directory, there is usually a folder called “_private”.

for example mine would look like “ftp://users.adelphia.net/public_html/_private/”.

.htaccess ?

there is an amazing tutorial on it by leo laporte somewhere on tech tv’s website i think. i usually google for it when i need it

Yeah, either .htaccess or just don’t publish it to anyone. Essentially, if you make a folder with a difficult / random name, it won’t be discovered.

im just using randon type folder names at the moment, i guess thats good enough , thanks guys
