Hi i have a problem with making a safe upload folder in a project.
The thing is that we have a file upload that everyone should be able to upload files to, but only the site administrator the site should be able to view the files later.
Is it possible making a folder non readable, but accessible from a php page?
The server is a linux inviroment
There’s actually several ways to do this.
Apache configuration (you may restrict access to certain directory by IP security, or HTTP authorization), see: allow,deny and apache authentification
Save files to directory which is not accessible via website and write your own php directory listing and file download, via readfile
Upload file to directory which will be accessible only via “secret” ftp/sftp.
