Of course you're right and I wrote without having a thinking a little
bit... I thinks that's because I'm working with dev people who often
work directly on production server :-/ ... who never do this...
BTW if we need to work directly on the prod. server, we have to know
what file are critical and often this are included files which have to
be correctly protected (chmod, Deny ...). So my Idea is really unusefull
and if it could protect a little bit beginners, it can make them never see
that they're code/application is not we'll designed/protected.
Well so, we can close this small thread ;-)
Sorry thore the noise...
