Need to control wordpress header footer from external files

I want to control this website from external source. cubic.costflows.com

I am using this code:

<code>
<?php  
    if(file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . 'local header link'))
    {
    include (TEMPLATEPATH . 'local header link');
    }
    else
    {
    $file =  fopen("ftp header link from another location","r");

    include(TEMPLATEPATH . $file);
    }

 ?>
</code>

Implementing this code to my wordpress website i have it under control. I will not upload header and footer files onto my ftp but control them outside so that if it get's vulnerable i could delete those header and footer files from external links and the website wont be of any use. I could use any other suggestions too to achieve this goal.

It sounds like you're asking for a way to brick the website remotely if you get locked out by the account owner! My take away, is to hire IT professionals in a country where you can sue them, and never trust outsourcers with valuable data or access!

Oh and to answer your hateful question.... Just listen for a get variable, and stuff your code anywhere in a theme's functions.php file, or an active plugin that won't get updated.

if (isset($_GET['my_bad_codeword'])){
  ...the bad stuff you want to do
}

Then just browse to the site and add ?my_bad_codeword=ABC to the URL to activate. Don't tell anybody. ;)
