Before I go into anything I feel I should warn you that I am a complete novice with anything relating to computer security so if you find a post that seems a little inane then please just bear with me.
That said: I am a member of my schools website class. Unfortunatley we do our work in a class room that already has 6 other classes in it, so there isnt a whole lot we have been able to do for making the website secure against people tampering with it. Recently someone decided it woudl be fun to go into the folder where the website data is stored and delete just random files, specifically most of the pictures for the page. I leui of this, we feel that we need to make this folder more secure.
I want to put a password on just the specific folder with the website data in it, so only the members of this class will be able to get access, but I have no idea about how to do this. It would be really great if someone woudl tell me how to do this, or give me tha addresses of any sites that have good information on this subject.
