Awesome! So what is your directory structure (step 3)? Is it
app/webroot/media/static/ app/webroot/media/filter/ app/transfer/ OR app/webroot/media/static/ app/webroot/media/filter/ app/webroot/media/transfer/ Also, did the styles still get served properly after step 5 (protecting the transfer directory)? I would love to see how you made it work! Would you mind posting an example or emailing me the relevant code? If I can get it working I think it would be great to add this as a full-on tutorial in the wiki. Thank you!!
