Can't acces to my XML file

[darsanha]

I have a problem in my template.
In my template directory I have a file "_codes" which contains all my css, js and xml
On the first page of my site I have a jQuery slider.
But it does not work as it should.
When I try to access my file "xml" by typing the URL, I get a message that tells me we can not access the file:

Forbidden
You do not have permission to access

I tried to do a "chmod" on the file but it does not work ...

The main htaccess file blocks all xml access, you would have to add an override to this for your theme subfolders, perhaps this should be added by default. Only data dir need to be protected.

ok thank you for your reply,
could you tell me what I should add in the file ". htacces" because I do not really know this type of file ...

thank you
