Use .htaccess file to stop "execution" of PHP files in dir


Wuhtzu

Recommended Posts

Hey

 

I have the following directory structure on my webserver:

 

\wuhtzu\ ("site specific folder")

\wuhtzu\webroot\ (apache virtual host webroot of wuhtzu.dk)

\wuhtzu\webroot\download\ (dir in question)

 

Can I from the dir "\wuhtzu\webroot\" make an .htaccess file which will prevent any PHP file from being viewed / run / executed / loaded from the dir "\wuhtzu\webroot\download\"?

 

What I want to prevent is this from happening: www.wuhtzu.dk/download/i_fuck_your_server_up.php. The reason why I have this concern is because I give some people ftp access to this dir (I could place it outside the webroot, but I need "webserver access" too) and they could do stupid stuff. I need the .htaccess file to be one level up from the \download\ dir so people with the ftp account can't delete it :)

 

Any advice would be much appreciated.
