Help secure your packaged data

If your Web site is located on a server running FrontPage Server Extensions from Microsoft, SharePoint Team Services v1.0 from Microsoft, or Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, take the following precautions:

• Avoid adding Universal Data Connection (UDC) files to a Web package. A UDC file is an XML file, stored in the _fpdatasources folder, that contains configuration information for a data source. UDC files can contain passwords in plain text.

• Avoid packaging SharePoint document or picture libraries that contain files. When other users import the Web package, those files will be added to their Web site.

• Import Web packages only from trusted sources. If you import a Web package that contains malicious files, your site may be at risk.
