restrict access on public folder in laravel 4.2 -
im new laravel , im working on project needs store files in server. im doing store under public/docs
problem files under directory accessible time given know url file. example if logged out if know url http://localhost/dummy/public/uploads/docs/2016-06-02-10-52-43-oth-content-inventory-and-planning-spreadsheet.pdf
able access im thinking in routes
route::any('uploads/docs/' , 'go controller check if user can acces');
is possible? in advance!
it's called public reason...
you should use storage instead (laravel 5) in storage dont restrict access, actualy opposite, grant access file .
try laravel 4.2 (move file after upload storage folder)
input::file('file')->move(__dir__.'/storage/',input::file('file')->getclientoriginalname()); });
anyway ,the conclusion can't restrict access (you shouldn't if there way) because it's meant public ! should use storage folder(or whatever called in laravel 4)
