Ability to protect the root dir

[interfasys]

I was surprised to see that it was not possible to protect the entire public_html folder.

Therefore I wish that the next version of DA provides such functionality.

do you mean with shell accounts, users can cd ../ further into the server and still view files?

Nonono

I should have explained better. I'm talking about the directory protect tool. You can protect every folder except the root one.

oh right, I Know (it's possible via .htaccess though ;) )

You and I can both do it manually, but the average user without SSH access would have a hard time ;)

Hello,

Yes, actually you can, but you have to use the real public_html folder, not the symbolic link:

in the filemanager, go to:

/domains/domain.com

you should see the "Protect" link beside the public_html folder.

Duh. I must have been very tired for not being able to click on the "up a level button"...
