Security Issue

Hi All

I wonder whether it is safe to store the database username and password in a
ASP page.
Is there any chance that a user can down load the actual file?

Thank you,
Shmuel

As long as you don't put the info in a file that is downloadable, no. What
you do have to worry about though is security as far as who can access the
file system of the server, i.e. the coworker next to you, someone else who
works on the Web site with you, etc.
