I am referring to this:
I'm running my VDS from the default admin account. How exactly should I go about editing these folders' permissions? Do I just literally right-click on them, go into to properties > security and select write for system? Or administrators? Is it write only? What's the difference between read and read & execute?File Permissions
If you are running your own server (not renting one from a GSP), there are some things you can do to prevent many of the more malicious exploits. The basic theory here is to give srcds as little access to the machine as possible. It only needs write access to the following directories:
* downloads/
* cache/
* addons/sourcemod/gamedata/
* addons/sourcemod/data/
* addons/sourcemod/logs/
* logs/
And how do I put the rcon password into the command line? I was told taking it out of the server.cfg and putting it here was the most secure way of defining it so no one could download the password/hack it.
