question about restricting folder access

8 years 7 months ago #270340 by shawneo
okay so i see the folder access integration.

here is the case:

I am trying to restrict access here:

canlearnenglish.com/images/Packages/Paid/BeginnerPhrases/

so in folder access path I put: images/Packages/Paid/BeginnerPhrases/
and tested it out using the Joomla root optino and the Absolute root option. Both of which do nothing to protect it. I think I am missing something.

I was hoping that I could only allow users with the Beiginner Phrases plan to access this file using folder protection integration:
/images/Packages/Paid/BeginnerPhrases/

please let me know where I am in error.

If that folder is corrected protected no one here should be able to access this link:
canlearnenglish.com/images/Packages/Paid...welcome_mandarin.mp4

as a note it says underneath my folder path:

WARNING
Folder access is for advanced users who are capable of using and understand htaccess and htpasswd. Administrators are not granted automatic access, you will need to manually add these users to the htpasswd file.
Status (relative)
/home/gtmlive6/public_html/canlearnenglish.com/ exists and is writable.
perhaps this helps...do i need to make the permission in my cpanel not readable or writeable?

Kind Regards,
Shawn
