yup, I know about those. What I am trying to accomplish is to control access
to a folder above the websites root folder on a machine that hosts multiple
sites. The only thing I can think of so far is to use path_translated with
getFileFromPath in the Application.cfm file to find the root. I will know
that the application is installed under the root, what I won't know is how
deep.
I am thinking that if the app was installed directly under the root and a
request to upload a file is made from a directory two levels into my
application I can just back up two levels, problem solved. If the app is
installed in a subdirectory of the root I won't know how many level to back
up to find the root of the web server. I am getting ahead of my self here,
my real concern is I want to allow a developer to browse the server for an
mdb file they have uploaded so that they can supply the path to add a
datasource, I don't want them to be able to add other peoples datasources
above the root of there own web site.
There are we all as confused as I am now?
