.htpasswd help

[deathw8]

i used.htpasswd in the {www.site.com/file/.htpasswd} format and it was succesful. Although I found files I was looking for, it prevented me from accessing them. I got an error. I'm trying to keep people from further getting into anything.

Code: Select all

Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 403

If anyone knows any further steps on bypassing this, please let me know. thanks!

I personally have not heard of a way to bypass that. It's basically how the server software is built that keeps it protected. Of course, if you find a vulnerability in the server, you can try and get at it.
