Why type of issues do you run into if your website shows the complete path to your file. I know this is bad and we dont want it, but I neeed some valid reasons for the programmer.

THanks!

What type of file? Any file? Complete path in the code or the path displayed to the user?

Dont have one in particular. I was ust wondering what the possible implications were. Obviosly it would be worse if they had access to some dangerous scripts etc.

Thank you

If you have to question if something is a security risk or not, wouldn't it be better to play it safe, and not reveal that kind of info? I mean less information a potential hacker to your site can get, about the files on your server, is better than showing them the full path to a file.
