Hi gang:

The subject line says it all.

How secure is a .htaccess file to store passwords and other sensitive
stuff?

Can a .htaccess file be viewed remotely?

No, Apache won't serve it.

It's a configuration setting though, and not a hard-coded feature.

Set by default in your apache2.conf file which you're rather unlikely
to mess with as that is not how you're setting up sites.

Totally agreed... but I've seen worse in my travels :)

Cheers,
Rob.
