If you don't want people to go through your files you can protect it with .hatccess files. Create a .hatccess file and put in it

Quote:
deny from all


Put an .hatccess file in each of these dirs and overwrite the originals if they are in there...

Quote:
backup
cache
inc
plugins
data (smilies probably will not show up though)


Remove folder

Quote:
convert


there's no point in having that in there. This is just a simple step from allowing people to go through your files. It will just redirect them to a 404 page or something. Also this works on most systems.

scott you can remove the .hatccess from "skin" dir and it should restore the js and css files. And yea if you have files that need to be used aka, images, css, js that you stick in any of the folders they won't be called upon.
