Hi I hope someone can give me some good advice. I have a dedicated server that will be used for only streaming video files. I have a php upload form that I want to use to send my video to the server then generate a .php link to the video. To be able to upload the files I had to set the folder to 777. I have password protected the upload script so only I can access it but I want to know if I need to worry about people being able to delete my files or folders in that 777 directory. Or is there a way around what I am trying to do.
I really appreciate any advice that anyone can offer. I am just learning so a lot of this stuff is new to me. Thanks in advance.
