| Is there a way to limit internet users from accessing folders directly on a site, such as cgi folder for forums. |

Hi dude1337--
I think you have two options. Either turn off "Automatic Directory Indexing" in the advanced/server parameters or just stick a index file in all folders that you do not wish to be viewed publicly. Something like:
http://sixa.no-ip.info/cgi-bin/

Yes, putting an empty index.html file in every directory you don't want people to browse is the trick.
