can this be set up? [please read]

[satch]

I have a flash file that writes to a text file, so it needs those permissions. How do I make a text file not viewable on the web, but still be write-able by the flash element? Can I set up a folder that only has access by that flash file? So if the file is called in a browser it will not display. You folks have been great help so far.. any ideas on this one?

thanks in advance
🆒

Not an expert on flash but...

For a file to be non viewable via a browser the best way in my opinion is to place it outwith the document root.

so if your initial web page is within /home/username/htdocs you would create the file in /home/username or /home/username/flashdir etc..

This would however only be possible if flash uses the files server name and not a web orientated name.

Hope that this helps.
