Well, it seems fine now, and it's not my server. Thanks for the variety of
comments. I do have a few PHP pages on my websites, and I think they are
well protected enough that the server would never display the code - at
least I hope so, because I have passwords hard coded in them. They are in
directories which have permissions set to 711, so the contents should never
be readable by the public. When I have had configuration problems, generally
I have gotten an error message or not even that. What I have is not very
sensitive or critical but I do have some concerns because I don't really
know this stuff well enough for full confidence.
Just yesterday I had problems with email on my Dreamhost server, and I
noticed that the logs seemed to be missing and not updated since last
August. But apparently there was a change which now requires SFTP / SSH. I
downloaded and installed WinSCP per Dreamhost's recommendation but found
that I can also use FileZilla, so I'll stick with that.
I have a php file for which I have set permissions 711. If the PHP
executable or the configuration had problems, would the source be visible?
