Hello,

I am trying to protect some files from anyone typing in the url and being able to view them. Particularly FLV files. So I have placed them in a directory one level up from web access. However, now I can't use my flash player to access them since they are outside of web access.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to access them or of a player that can read the filesystem without using javascript?

Thanks

Change folder permission so only the server daemon has read privileges, may or may not work :)

.htaccess try that ;)

Use blank index.html/index.php in the folder with flash files (simplest method). Or, as Auzzie has mentioned, use .htaccess.

try to code your flash video player(Actionscript) so that source files cannot be known.(If you are coding your own video player).
