I restricted access to my Internet folder, eg
http://www.my-domain/my_folder/my_sub_folder/
So that, for anybody access is denied (403 Forbidden message)
If I provide someone with a direct link to one of the folder's files, it is possible to access it from anywhere on the Internet, eg
http://www.my-domain/my_folder/my_sub_folder/a_file.pdf
Is there a possibility that somebody got a list of my files/the folder's contents?
I think that just happened ... how was that possible?
Somebody must have tried all combination for possible file names! Or is there another way, that I overlooked?
Edit: if the link to the file can be found by Google, then there must be a reference to the file's address somewhere else on the Internet, right? Is there a chance to find that link? (Just out of curiosity, I limited the access to my files in the mean time.)
There are several low-probability avenues:
Security by obscurity (ie nobody knows it's there, so it's safe) is well known to be almost worthless. If you really want security enable SSL and set up password protection.
