 * Hello,
 * I have just noticed that your plugin saves exported DHL labels to mysite.com/
   wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_dhl_label
 * Surely this is a security issue as it is directly allowing this folder to be 
   accessed via bots? You have added no line in the robots.txt to disallow indexing
   of these files.
 * Can you please explain this ASAP? Thank you

 * There is an .htaccess file within that folder that denies access to all users
   including bots.
 * Are you saying you were able to find the files on search engines?

 * Hi [@shadim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shadim/)
 * OK well that’s great news. Sorry then it was my lack of understanding, as I did
   not check for the .htaccess file in that folder. Thanks for your quick reply.

 * No problem, do let us know if you see an issue with this or any other security
   concerns.
