Description: Basically you MOVE any files you don't want search engines indexing or other people accessing through their browser, into a folder called "unreadable". (Create "unreadable" in your root. Root is the first location you see when you access FTP or file manager.)

And ONLY YOU (though FTP or file manager) or YOUR ACCOUNTS files can access files within "unreadable" folder.

=======
Example:
=======


If you move a file "database.txt" into "unreadable" and you go to: http://USERNAME.110mb.com/unreadable/database.txt, it doesn't exist because it's totally INVISIBLE.

But if another file in your account was to call http://USERNAME.110mb.com/unreadable/database.txt, then it'll show the file contents as normal.


This was designed for free users (with no htaccess support), to protect anything they want.




How this feature works:

1. Create a directory "unreadable" in your root. Root is your first place you see when you log into FTP or file manager.

2. Now place or move any file or folder you want inside it.

3. That's it. It's 100% protected from Search engine spidering or anyones eyes, except you and your accounts files.

I recommend you CHMOD "unreadable" to: 777 or 770 (same as 777)

Hmm just a question - say If I have a php file in my root directory, will it be able to access what's in the unreadable directory? I realize it can't be accessed by a direct me.110mb.com/unreadable/myfile.php but just a thought Wink Having it accessible to server side stuff could be interesting, but still might not be good enough for some people... anyway thanks andre (and the rest of the 110mb team whoever you guys are)!

Yes it can. Any file, anywhere in your account can access files you place in "unreadable" folder.

Doesn't sound like it; andre specifically said root/unreadable so I'm guessing it only works for the root. Anyway, if you need scripts to access it you can easily change the path of some config files or something - does it really matter if you can't make an unreadable folder wherever you want?

(...) but the player is unable to fetch the file from "unreadable" folder..

Because that files are protected from any access, except File Manager in CP, FTP and access of PHP scripts executed on server.
Flash is a client side technology (not server side), so Flash application as a client can NOT access it.

No, you need to set CHMOD is 640 to anyone can't to browse your directory.
Always set 0 digit at the end of CHMOD set as 640,750,...

If you did 644 TDSii you couldn't run an SQLite powered site as it couldn't right to it, sure you couldn't have anyone access it, but they couldn't use it Duh
