Give a big round of applause to some file changes! Got some good ones here, and a big change.
- Folders can now be entirely locked from being accessed by starting the name with an asterisk (*).
- Folders can now be password protected by starting the name with an exclamation mark (!). Check the bottom of this post to learn how to do it.
- The users directory under the primary domain (worlio.com) will no longer exist and instead redirect to files.worlio.com.
How to setup a password protected folder on Worlio.This is a short and quick guide to help you get started on protecting a folder with a password. All you need is file access to get started.
First, create a folder with a name starting with the exclamation mark. It MUST start with an exclamation mark, so
!private and
!!!SECRET!!! will work, but not
mine! or
he!!o. This is how the server determines a folder should be protected and it will return a 403 until an authorization file is present.
Once your folder is made, make a file inside named
.auth. This will be your username and password file, and will control how you login. Each line contains a
username:password. An example is provided below.
# use {scheme} to specify password type. {PLAIN} is required for plaintext passwords.
member:{PLAIN}tacobite
# by default, passwords use crypt
friend:5z5r96jZIk4sU
Based on the contents above, your folder can be logged in with both the username
member with the password
tacobite, and the username
friend with the crypt password
tacobite. You can use this to set certain logins for certain people and remove/add onto it as you wish.
Well that was easy, wasn't it? Navigate to your public folder to test and see how it works!
