Mysterious file ?

While browsing my files with FTP, I found a mysterious file in my tools folder. When I looked at it, it has the name of one of my former programmers in it as well as my login name for my admin panel.

It's in the following format:

 

name: xxxxxxx/xx.xx

name: xxxxxxx/xx.xx

 

the filename is .htpasswd_oscommerce

 

should I be concerned?

 

Thank you in advance.

Paul that is a standard file used in oscommerce 2.3.1 to protect the admin directory it should have the name but an encrypted password.

Just noting what you said about a "former programmer". If the person has nothing to do with your store anymore you should probably remove that id.

Paul,

 

Your version is not 2.3.1 and does not come with that file. Not to say you can't use it, but it is not standard with your version.

Chris;

I removed his name from the file, but if he set it up, then he has my details in it as well.

Paul,

 

Usually that file is used as added security for your admin area. It is a 'good' thing when setup correctly.
