I came across this post as I'm doing a complete reinstall of my board. I've learned in the past (via various photo galleries) that for security reasons, it may be a good idea to actually have files uploaded to a folder that is not accessible to visitors, ie, not within the domain, for example....
My domain would point to...
htdocs\mydomain
my forum would be located at
htdocs\mydomain\forums
and the folder I created for uploading file attachments would be here....
htdocs\attachments
The test to find this directory passes just fine, but seeing as how the next field actually requests the full url...I'm curious to understand why this isn't something that has been implemented.
As it is with the photo galleries that implement this (like Gallery 2) the images are viewable just the same.
Thanks for your input
