403 files in controllers, libraries, models, views folders - El Forum - 06-05-2008

Hello,
is it necessary to have 403 html files in those folders and any subfolders to prevent directory access? I have a custom setup where a 404 splash page is served when a page is not found which seems to be a lot better and more anonymous than a 403 error. which one is considered best practice?
thanks

I think it's more a precaution against open dirs than a necessity. If you keep the framework above the root the files have no purpose.
