Uploaded file became public

draganajgr 16 Aug, 2011
Hi!
I made a form for my site where users can upload their CV. Everything works perfect, but the problem is that these uploaded files can be seen after searching on Google Search. When one of my clients typed his name and surname on Google, the first result was from my site and there was a link to download the file he attached with all his personal data.

Is there any option or something that I can do in order to protect these files to be seen on public?

Thank you in advance

Hi draganajgr,

You can move the files to a folder outside your site root. I think that you can also set the folder to noindex using a .htaccess file in the folder.
