I recently purchased the fileman.cgi ( mall version ). I would like the customers to be able to “set passwords” for their individual folders.. but the usernames/passwords
are all being added to “one” file.. so incidentally.. any user can access another’s “protected” directory since their username/pass is on the same list.

Example: User A has an account. They create a folder and set up a password protection on it. Everything is fine.
User B has an account. They go to create a folder and setup password protection on it. Suddenly they see someone else listed in the drop down list. They delete it.

User A now is not allowed access to their protected directory.. so they recreate a password.. but when they do.. they See User B listed. They delete it.

See the paradox? Is there anyway for the fileman.cgi to create a separate .htpasswd file inside the directory they are trying to protect? If it did, then this would solve this problem. Also, only the users listed in that one folder’s .htpasswd file would show in the drop down menu.

If this is a bug.. no problem.. I have disabled that feature. Hopefully you can get a fix on that one in the future. If there is something I am doing wrong.. please let me know.


Sincerely,

James Hart
