Of course you are going to be able to get to the uploaded files from anywhere if you know the URL, otherwise you wouldn't be able to download the files at all. Some enhancements were made to how file uploads are handled, as well as the directory structure that is used that make it impossible to guess the location or find it through trial and error. However, if the user knows the exact URL to that specific file, there is nothing you can do about it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/updated-file-upload-field-to-increase-security#post-40731 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:08:51 +0000 dasusman 40731@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The 1.6 change log includes "Updated file upload field to increase security."<br /> Can you expand on what that means? I'm interested in limiting access to uploaded files. After the upgrade, I can still get to the uploaded files from anywhere if I know the URL. I'll look into changing the permissions on the upload folder, but also want to know about the changes in 1.6. Thanks. </p>
