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!
