vonbailey Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hi Have searched this and other forums for an answer to this and found lots of similar questions but nothing dealing with exactly what I'm after. I want to copy a file located in parent/dir1/file.pdf (for example) to another directory parent/dir2/id/file.pdf. This is straightforward enough using copy(). But... I don't want users to be able to access the original file directly (eg by just putting /parent/dir1/file.pdf into their browser. The only way I seem to be able to do this is by removing the 'read' permission, but then the copy() command gives an error. If this is possible, I assume the solution is somehow linked to the various file and directory permissions but I can't figure out the correct settings. Can someone help out? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyph Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Are you on Apache? DenyFromAll using .htaccess (google) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
