Hi
Have searched this and other forums for an answer to this and found lots of similar questions but nothing dealing with exactly what I'm after.
I want to copy a file located in parent/dir1/file.pdf (for example) to another directory parent/dir2/id/file.pdf. This is straightforward enough using copy(). But... I don't want users to be able to access the original file directly (eg by just putting /parent/dir1/file.pdf into their browser. The only way I seem to be able to do this is by removing the 'read' permission, but then the copy() command gives an error.
If this is possible, I assume the solution is somehow linked to the various file and directory permissions but I can't figure out the correct settings.
Can someone help out?
Thanks in advance
