Come on. Be ...serious

. You know that nothing can stop hackers. While even CIA (as I've read) can't stop them, do you think that just a file move can stop them?

In any case I was talking in general. And is well known from the early days of PHP that configuration files is better to not being stored in the public area.

An daily example. There are many site owners who are giving FTP access at the public area to someone to fix something. Why to have the login to database details available to him?

By the way. Nice to see you back Sir Adrian

. Even if we never talked, I've read carefully some of your articles when I started coding for vB. Especially that one for creating more secure addons.
