I am getting ready to install a freebie I got and in the instructions I have this message...

.htaccess your pr.txt file if used. If you do not enable protection on this file, it is available to anyone on the web. You should also add it to your robots.txt file.

I do not know how to carry out this instruction... can anyone give me a quick explain? Or is this not enough information to ask for assistance?

Thanks, kindly,

I assume it means you should deny access to that file. If so, create a file name .htaccess and put the following code inside:

<Files pr.txt>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

The .htaccess file you just created should be placed in the directory that holds pr.txt. Now, you should not be able to access that file via a web browser.

Hi, thank you for the advice. Is this a folder that I need to create or what. I'm sorry I'm a little confused.

Just chmod it so people can't look at it. chmod 733 (If it needs write permission.) or 711.
