If you are wanting to protect your server files from the known exploit known as q3dirtrav, then the only known work-around is to:
1. Hex edit the COD2 executable, renaming the server-side file name "_svr_" to some unique/custom name such as (example) "_qrt_", then put this on your server and run the game from it;
2. Put all the files you want protected into an IWD file, whose name contains the new "_grt_" in its name:
That will not download to clients, and cannot be traversed because the hacker wont know the new extension name.
If you are also wanting to protect your server config files (so for example they cannot download them and get your server's rcon password), put the server config files in the server-side IWD file and your server will read them from there.
NOTE - you have to put them in a folder with a unique name such as "protectme":
Example:
Code:
+exec protectme/server-mp.cfg
Where your server-side IWD file contains the folder and config file: zz_grt_01.iwd/protectme/server-mp.cfg
