Directory Permissions


Go to solution Solved by TapeGun007,

Recommended Posts

I wrote a website some time ago that shares files for specific authorized individuals.  Nobody can access the files without logging in.  EXCEPT, Google has somehow scanned the directory, and if someone types in a key phrase specific enough, Google has a direct link to the file right in their seach engine.

 

So, I placed a username/password on the folder.  Now people can't access the files without entering this all the time.  Unfortunately, neither can my users.  So is there a way for PHP to automatically enter the username/password, or is there some other way to protect the files?

 

Thanks for the help.

Hey thanks.  I called my web host, because I wasn't quite sure what you meant.  I was able to move the files out of the public folder.  Unfortunately, it's going to break a few things, but I can probably figure it out from here.
