How to stop people downloading the actual content of forum like "CSS" or "Templates" files?

Is there any way to stop seeing actual content of Templates, f.e. Main Header by following this address?

https://www.minibb.com/forums/templates/main_header.html

on this by viewing source also available.

Thanks,

Author Paul

Regarding CSS/JS files, there is no way. The browser should "download" your content the same way as any other program does. So it can't be "protected from web", else nobody will access it :)

Regarding templates folder, you can protect it by the .htaccess file, I think. For example, put under /templates/.htaccess:

<Files ~ "\.html|\.htaccess">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
I just did it for our forums, and it works.
