[FX.php List] FX Web Server Requirements

[Leo R. Lundgren]

Chris,

I've seen you say that previously as well. But I don't understand how  
you can justify that? Of course it's up to you, but I don't see how  
you can be content about having your files readable by anyone?

Even if you have just one site on one server, there may be a risk in  
that if some other service than the www one is compromised, the  
attacker can use the compromised account to simply read the files  
they want, if you have them o+r. And then they can get into your  
database as the next stop along your line of servers :-) This was  
just an example regarding the "even if, dedicated server".

Kind regards, Leo
