[FIXED] Where is Safe Place to Save File In Virtual Host Cpanel

Issue

I will develop website that saving documents in Cpanel. If I save documents in public html people just access through http://example.com/file.doc document will get accessed. Where do I put documents so only my web application can access the documents? Is it right to place the documents in directory before public_html? Thank you.

Solution

Yes, You need to save that files outside the public_html directory.

OR you can create password protect directory for your documents so that nobody can access that without user name and password
