jagguy Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I have set my dir to chmod 711 so you cant access the index. However all the files in the directory are not automatically set to the same permissions . What can happen is that anyone can tyoe in a name of say a text file or img and theey can see the file (provided they know the name). How can I protect my .txt,.doc and .gif files from anyone just typing the url and viewing the file. By default they have chmod 644 but i can't go through each new file and set the permissions manually.

jagguy Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 This is quite a big issue so I am still confused. I have users upload files to a dir. I don't want anyone else to view these files other than me. Now the dir has chmod 711 and the files themselves have 644 by default. So when a user uploads a file then only i should be able to view it. However someone else can come along and just type the path in the url and the file is viewable eg a .txt file.
