blocking PHP access

[asela_05085]

hi all,

i have a Apache web server on red hat linux machine.
in some folders i need to block uploading PHP files for a certain user group (who access those folders through FTP)
this should not apply blocking PHP functionality in other folders.

highly appreciate your advices

thanks

this is probably something you need to configure in your FTP server, though I have no idea how you might go about it.

anyone else can help on this?

This isnt a PHP problem, wrong forum. Like kows said, you will need to configure your FTP server.

Do you know what FTP server you are using?

[asela_05085]

no, don't know.is there a way to check that

[dclamp]

yes by asking your hosting company.

I assume you don't actually want to stop them from uploading a php file, more you don't want the php file to be able to execute.

Couldn't that simply be stopped by turning off execution rights to the specific FTP folders?

possibly even a .htaccess file...
