PETbottle,
Perhaps you should have left your question and then supplied your solution so that others may benefit from your experience.
Good point.
Basically, my problem was that I didn’t want others to be able to access my wordpress folder at mydomain.com/wordpress, but I didn’t know how to restrict access.
To solve the problem, I ended up using Telnet to view the ‘Properties’ of the folder and unclick the ‘Read’ box under the ‘Public’ heading, thereby which anyone who attempts to access mydomain.com/wordpress will get a 403: Forbidden message.
I believe this is all related to chmod coding, but I’m not very familiar with this.
PETbottle:
That’s certainly one way of doing it, another is to put all the necessary instructions into the .htaccess file that contains all your Rewrite rules.
A pretty good site for this is :

You can then block by IP, have password access only, block hotlinking and a few other bits too.
