Password protect folders

Postby silverado » Tue Mar 20, 2012 11:05 am

Hi, I just recently downloaded the Files app to my iPad and it is so amazing! Ok my question is, now that I can upload files to my unique http address, how can I protect my folders and files from being viewed or deleted by others when using a public computer?

This is my first time using this server and was just thinking, if someone knows my http address they can easily type it in the web address bar and view or delete my files, no password is requested.

Thanks!

If you go to Files' Settings, tap "Server", then "Authentication" you can enter a username and password. Anyone connecting to Files will then need to enter this username and password.
