At least we now have confirmation in his own words that he's peeping data and we can warn potential users.
Goodnight gentlements!
But if this is a public folder like public_html, anybody can list the content, am I wrong?
Aside from that tasteless attempt at humor and the providers who took part, this entire thread can be washed from the communities mind with a $7/yr deal. Your move @CharityHost_org
Unless you plan to open the entire VPS' file system to the internet, I'm not sure if even a free VPS is worth taking, nevermind one that costs any amount of money.
depends on how you configure the web server.
@bdspice
did you keep your stash in public folder?
If no, then we have bigger problems than before also.
Hmm, I thought the whole idea of public_html is to be public. What can be the use case of having files in public_html without public access?
I love me a 7/yr deal, but I love my privacy more
Being able to access specific files, but not necessarily listing what files are there.
Would it be more correct to use private_html for this?
Do you love my privacy?
when you don't want people to know the indexing of the files.
For example, I have lots of images in a folder but i don't want people to list those images. I will put restrictions in the web server config file then.
Why would you not use private_html for this?
@bdspice what was revealed in the ticket?
Because not all platform has it.
Got it. Do not get me wrong, I am just trying to make my own conclusions in this topic.
Behind the screen deal where @bdspice will have to close this thread.
CH wanted three times the porn and only then would they allow OP to get back his porn.
Hush money
maybe the admin fee was for the subscription cost of the porn ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
You're getting hung up on the conventionally used directory names. You can't see a directory listing of "public_html" on any of my accounts. Some of them you can't see anything at all without authentication.
edit: i don't even use "public_html" as a directory name, for example.
Maybe. My point is as follows. If the folder is configured (either by the host or by the user) as publicly accessible and the host detects whatever is in breach of AUP by doing a random scan on public folder, I do not believe it is fair to say the host is snooping-pooping user's data. Am I wrong?
public_html folder not necessarily is public unless configured in Web server.
If as a user, I have not made public_html accessible, then host will be snooping pooping even in scan of that folder (because it isn't in public domain).
There's a reason why most providers do not opt such exercises.
@bdspice you got a muzzle?
Nope. Imagine that if you host private stuff with feet infected with mildew. Just a mild creative, some necrosis or overgrown nails. It is easy to overreact to such situations. Especially if files named like: lick_and_smell_fungus_prison.mkv
