I’ve hosted a site on a shared hosting server.
I’ve a given permission 776 to a folder, is it possible for someone to upload a file using move_upload_file to my server from his home pc or own server ?
Edit
If i do not provide the front panel or some UI to the user is it still possible to upload file ?
No, if you do not provide a script which receives the file and moves it, some other user can’t upload a file to your server.
All
move_uploaded_filedoes is move a file from the temporary directory on the hard drive to a different location on the same hard drive. It cannot put files on someone else’s computer.Your question is equivalent to asking whether your next door neighbor can copy child pornography onto your home PC’s hard drive over the internet. You should be happy that the answer is no.
