Is it necessary (and possible) to prevent access to the sitemap.xml file and, also, to the .htaccess file itself? I ask this because, for instance, there’s good reason to also prevent access to your .css file, javascript files and Templates folder. As a test I’ve attempted accessing sitemap.xml and .htaccess files in a couple of websites and was directed to a ‘Forbidden’ page. Is this an automatic outcome in all cases or is it manufactured?
