How to restrict a text file on web server

Hello everybody,

I have a text file in my website folder and I want to protect that text file so that nobody can view the content of the text file just like web.config doesn't show up when directly write the URL of the file.

Thanks.

Easy: rename it mytextfile.config

Just be sure to never rename your web.config file to web.config.bak. That won't be filtered out and will be downloadable. If you have connection settings in there... you will be sorry.
