How do you set your file areas so that a web user, who is not logged in, cannot access the file areas? Currently, both the "classic" and the Webv4 interface allow anyone to access them. I only want people who are registered and logged in to be able to view them on the web.

Thanks!

Webv4 uses the "guest" account for unregistered users, so setting all your file libraries' access requirements to "Not guest" would achieve that. Or you can set them to "(prot not http and prot not https) or not guest" if you do want guest access to file areas when using other non-web protocols.

i think you do set the security level so it's not guest.

I think you can also edit /sbbs/webv4/pages/webctrl.ini and add

[*files.xjs]
AccessRequirements = NOT GUEST

I have something similar to stop non-guest users accessing games.

I just tested it on one library and it actually does not work. I set the access requirement to NOT GUEST in SCFG for the whole library. When I then surf to it, without being logged on, it still lets me access the library,
go to a file area, and download a file.

Nelgin's idea of putting it in the webctrl.ini file does seem to turn it completely off in Webv4, so I will use that.

I will play around with the other interface and see if I can figure out how
to turn it off there.

Add a line to the \sbbs\webv4\pages\webctrl.ini file


[*files.xjs]
AccessRequirements = LEVEL XX AND REST NOT G

Where XX is the security level of your registered users
