Block files


Tsukiyomi

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to block access to files unless they go through a php file that forces the download.  So I tried setting the .htaccess file like this

 

<Files *> 

    Order deny,allow 

    Deny from all 

</Files>

 

And It doesn't seem to be stopping me from typing in the address in my address bar and downloading the file.  Am I doing something wrong?

1) in your web folder, create a folder called downloads

2) in the downloads folder, make an .htaccess file with this line:

deny from all

3) in your web folder, create a file called download.php, which get's the filename via a GET argument

 

help?
