safeUpload

Share files easily & safely on your server, without risking unauthorized downloads. Useful for:

• Sharing work files with clients and colleagues
• Sharing private images and videos with friends and family
• Creating a pay-wall to digital content
• And much more!

Installation / Setup

You need to create the uploads directory, otherwise the files won't be uploaded there. This is explained in the files, but the uploads directory should be outside the web accessible files (htdocs/, www/, html/), for improved security. It's how the script was designed. It'll work without that anyway.

Other than that, you just need to edit path & security salt on the inc/safeupload.class.php file (initial class properties/variables, commented with explanations)

Also, note that the admin.php file should be protected by .htpasswd/.htaccess or something similar, since it has no username/password protection. This is the file you access to upload & delete files.

Additional security

The demo isn't password protected, but you can and should protect your script at least with basic HTTP authentication (via .htaccess or otherwise).

Note: Files uploaded via the demo are removed every 30 minutes. The maximum upload size there is 20MB, but the script itself has no limit (server setting in this case).
