Use .htaccess password protection on the AdminCP and ModCP.

Would going into my domains cpanel and setting password protection on those 2 folders be sufficient in accomplishing the same result ?

Thanks, I had thought about the .htaccess file but could not figure out where it would go (I presume the intended folder only) but then I could not figure out what should be in this .htaccess file.
So this will be just as secure then ? Phil. |

Your absolutely correct. After I refreshed my views in FileZilla there were new .htaccess files in both the admincp and modcp folders. Thanks
![]() Phil. Curious do you know if the file upgrade.php should be deleted from the install folder ? Something says yes to me but the instructions in the downloaded vbulletin package only say to delete the install.php file ? I'm sorry, if this should be posted elsewhere perhaps a mod can move it. I do not want to hijack this thread. Phil. |

No, it's safe to leave there. They'd need your Customer Number to do anything with those files.
