Be more specific. Are you asking about a page where only registered members can access?

no i mean is there any program so that .,,in the browser by specifying the folder's path, it will not display the files it contains & gives message " restricted acces "

Oh i see!

You can use a .htaccess file and then specify the file and you can redirect the browser to a specific other page e.g. restrictedaccess.php

Hi

I writing a system for a dozen users they each have their own login area and I want them to be able to upload files they have in their /usr/name folder into a common area and not see other folks' efforts
so I've got this in php

printf ('<tr> <td> <label for="uploadFile">File to upload </label> </td>');
printf('<td> <input type="file" name="uploadFile"> </td> </tr> ');

I created the above suggestion using ' vi .htaccess ' and put the file in /opt/lampp/htdocs but then when I press browse I can see all of the files on the system.

any help appreciated
