hi,

i have a db with some asp pages connect to it. is it safe to leave the db in the default fpdb folder? the 'everyone' group currently have read/write access to it because i am collecting information from user.

what is your opinion on the best/safest practice on location of db on web server? should i relocate them? how? if i try to access the db file (of course people would have to know the db file name) from any browser. i get the 403.2 error. HTTP 403.2 - Forbidden: Read Access Forbidden
what more can i do?

thanks.
