Protect files on FTP site
 

Evening,

I want to create a folder on my website to hold some private data that only I can read / upload / download etc.

How do I do this? I assume there must be some attributes I need to set somewhere? BTW - the site is either Linux or Windows - I can choose what the easier option would be.

Cheers

Lee

Using a .htaccess file or equivalent on your web server.

OOOOOOKkkkkkkkk :confused:

on FireFTP (and any FTP app) I have the ablity to set the permissions...

They are listed as owner, group and public - I suppose I can uncheck all in public and group - would that secure the files?

Sorry, I need to learn to read :). Yeah most FTP servers allow you to set up permissions per directory or set up usergroups that have access to specific directories. You'd just make the anonymous(or public) group/account have restricted access.
