Hello,
when a user enters the whole url to a file on the webserver he/she can view this file. I want to prevent this and only allow access to the files from within the application (under apache). How can I do that? I already tried:
| Quote: | <Directory /var/www/html/folder/files>
order deny,allow
allow from localhost
</Directory>
|
This works BUT the file also isn't viewable from within the application anymore.
Does anyone know how I can achieve this? I already googled but didn't find a solution.
Best regards,
Obould |

Your application can get the file contents internally via the file system/FTP/Shared folder/whatever.
If you want to stick with access via HTTP, you can password-protect the directory so your application can access the file using some credentials.
Maybe there's more ways. |
