oscommercenewbie Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Can someone tell me how to password protect the file_manager.php and all the files beneath it in admin? I have entered this into the Protected Directory of Plesk for the path (whih is correct) /home/httpd/vhosts/abcdefghijkl.com/subdomains/oscommerce/httpdocs/catalog/admin/http://yaddayadda.abcdefghijkl.com/catalog/admin/file_manager.php Created a user and password, however anyone with access to admin is still able to access file manager. Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do this 1) choose a new name for the dirctory (not admin1 or new_admin or something equally easy to guess !) 2) using plesk you can then set a user and pwd for this directory 3) make sure you change BOTH your configure.php files to reflect the new name you have given admin BTW if you are trying to protect files in your admin directory from someone working on your site with your permission you need to be aware of what they are doing and when they are doing it - the above steps protect the directory from mr and mrs malicious.

oscommercenewbie Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Thank you Charles for your response. I already have admin password protected. Would like to do so with file manager.

Can you tell me how to do so? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you change permissions on files by chmod - go to the file you want to prevent others from reading, writing or executing and apply the permissions you want. 444 or 400 is good - Just one question why are you wanting to do this ?
