Thank you for those links.
I spent most of the day looking for a simple script like the ones you've posted - that wouldn't allow you to go up in the dir tree.
The one I had allows you to crawl up to the server itself.

- I removed it as soon as I realized what it was doing. Still I wonder if the hosting firm has not been careless.Corvo2

I need to set up something like this for the press department of a company so they can upload images / pdf's etc... would be nice if there was some kind of registration for users or something so you could see who downloaded what etc... does that exist with any of these?
- Just use an htaccess password? Although I'd prefer user login tookalkal
- Not at this level, I think. We're looking for specific directory management, I believe. Have you tried typo3.org?Corvo2
- Or I may have hi-jacked the original post's idea.Corvo2
- htaccess a bit amateur for this sort of thingmimeartist_limited

There's a difference between a php login and a htaccess authentication. The later is more safe, I think, if the passwords are encrypted by a RUN command. Any PHP login needs a database (ultimately any database can be cracked, because any password needs 26-28 letters and 0-9 numbers) whereas a prompt authentication just needs an algorithm which uses the a different numerical system that gives you much higher odds.
- what he saidkalkal
- I mean, if you ask a user to type a password by registration, what are the chances they'll use numbers?Corvo2
- people think that just typing the name of their dog will make their password virtually impossible to crack.Corvo2
- They never think they're using a 26 letter combo, which can be cracked in 2 seconds by an old processor.Corvo2
- how is my 16 character password with text and numbers?kalkal
- Eventually hackable in 1 minute.Corvo2
- It's just a matter of chances.Corvo2
- whatever you think, can be reduced to a specific combo of words by an old Amiga. :)Corvo2
- A computer does not tell you what you're thinking, but it can tell you what you're not thinking.Corvo2

any php-based login system can be equally safe, you just need to transmit and store the passwords with a salted hash. even if someone captures the data in your db they won't know the passwords.
regardless, people need to use strong passwords. and learn a lesson from the twitter people, lock people out after a certain number of attempts so they can't just brute-force guess every common password.
- Good call. There's a whole new niche of training right there.Corvo2

Dude, what is done, can be un-done.
Whereas what has been seen cannot be un-seen :P
