Protecting files in the Upload folder

Mark · Sep 21st, 2011, 12:35 AM

Hi guys,

What's the best way to protect files uploaded to the Upload folder within Form Tools? I've just realised (for example) images are publicly viewable without logging into Form Tools.

I am aware that changing the folder permissions is probably the answer but can't see how this wouldn't hinder genuine logged in users?

Thanks in advance.

Mark -

Someone might have some new ideas or information (hopefully!) but if not, we discussed it a while back here:
