Defend Your Thank You Folders From URL Guessers By Robert Plank

If you sell downloadable products, you're going to have a thank you page (a URL whererepparttar buyer is redirected after a sale). With just a couple lines of HTACCESS code you can make that folder airtight.

You shouldn't be putting a buyer through a mandatory signup process to downloadrepparttar 107171 product. They already paid, just give themrepparttar 107172 file right away and offer a chance to opt-in for updates later. Otherwise you'll be getting lots of support e-mails from people asking whererepparttar 107173 product is they just paid for.

It's always smart to name your thank you page something with a number -- a name like postorder735.html or thank-you-9987.html will do. You just want to make this impossible to guess.

When it's possible I like to separaterepparttar 107174 sales page fromrepparttar 107175 download, so I stash them in a folder called something like "download" or "order." Problem: If you have these separate folders, these URL guessers can seerepparttar 107176 contents of them.

The obvious solution is to put an index.html inrepparttar 107177 folder, which keeps its contents from being listed... but what if you have, say, 25 of these folders? Do you need 25 index.html files?

No, and that's where HTACCESS comes in. Open up a new text file in Notepad and put this text in exactly:

Options -Indexes

Then saverepparttar 107178 file as: .htaccess (WITH that dot in front)
