Protecting my CGI files???

[tw1112]

Hi, I just got my ubb board up and running about a month ago. I was wondering though, I noticed how most sites protect their cgi files somehow so that people cannot just access them by typing the file name in. How would I go about doing this? I am really sorry but I dont know what type of information I have to give to you so that you would be able to help me http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

Any help would be greatly appreciated! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
