Folder permissions help.

    On a tube site that I run, I upload all of the videos and thumbs into a file named /upload.

    My question is, what should I set the permissions to so my users can view the videos from my site, but not go to the /upload folder and download them?

    Thanks,
    Marc

    I think for normal videos it can be downloaded, but if you configure it as a streaming video server, downloading will not be possible (or at least it will be much more difficult)

    The key is to make it difficult to download. The way Youtube does it is by disguising URLs. But still, sites like keepvid.com make it possible.
