Move folder outside the www folder for security reasons [SOLVED]

[Marcel]

Hello Keyhelp users,

I recently started using Keyhelp Pro. I really like it so far, it works exactly as it should. However, I have two questions:

Question 1: When I try to upload a folder outside the WWW directory, it doesn’t work. I get the error message: Failed to upload file xxxxx.zip. Is it not possible to upload files outside the WWW directory, or is there a way to make this work? If so, how does it work?

Question 2: If it is possible, what would be the correct full path to the uploaded folder outside my WWW directory for normal users (not root)? For example, is it:

/home/user/<username>/xxxfolder

user/<username>/xxxfolder

or / <username>/xxxfolder

I would really appreciate a clear answer. Thanks again for your help.

Best regards,
Marcel

Just create a folder myproject, inside a folder public, and use that as the document root.

Question 2: If it is possible, what would be the correct full path to the uploaded folder outside my WWW directory for normal users (not root)? For example, is it:

/home/user/<username>/xxxfolder

user/<username>/xxxfolder

or / <username>/xxxfolder

In this case, it would be /home/users/<username>/myproject
