copy and paste this in a bat file and you can create protected directories...

I will give it a go later on tonight, Thanks for taking the effort to post it...

the protected dir is

java\classes\backup
???

thx for the info

com2 / sucks on some maschienes

big thx this is usefull !!

Well, great method, but if i can't access to a path, i just type
dir/s **

It gives me :

But can't this be easly be undone by
[code
cacls %windir%\java\classes\backup\* /T /E /P Administrator:F
[/code]

I tried that though but then everytime i tried to access that dir the explorer.exe crashed.


I was wondering if there is a way to fix this?

nice code, but i already knew it

is there any method to undo these changes to the DIR, to make it readable again?

Thx for the Code,

i tried it out, and the Folder is protected.
But now i can´t use it, or i´m wrong??
Its not accessable for me, i tried it on my stro and my homepc

how can i upload files into
c:\winnt\java\classes\backup\com1\whoei\aux\bla\Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\home\ ????


Many thx

c:\winnt\java\classes\backup\com1\whoei\aux\bla\Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\home\

try this dir!

c:\winnt\java\classes\backup\com1\whoei\aux\bla\Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\home\
550 /COM1:: Permission denied.

i already do this, but didn´t work. hm

i dont know what you guys are doing, but i just tested it and it worked very well(Under windows XP).
Just copy and paste into a .bat file and run the file

then copy paste the 5th directory and then you are in....

its funny because if you trying to do "cd com1" it wont give you axx

But on dos it's works this trics but when you open your explorer tu can enter easly in the dir.

isn't it !!
this 2 commands doesn't work for me

attrib +R +H +S +A %windir%\java\classes\backup\ <-- not work
cacls %windir%\java\classes\backup\* /T /E /P Administrator:N <--- not workk

Yes, that s true, ,you can axx the "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" with the explorer, but you can't see the actual content of the folder.

Windows shows the icons of the control pannel


But on the other hand you could simple rename the directory.
Then you can view the content with the explorer again

greetz,
jacco

Then it's not protection on the dir ?
only for dos

[edit]

not to change subject but, I created the com1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 folders and can copy stuff to them. But how to do you protect the contents of the folder in the same manner the com folder is protected? even possible?

Rich

You wont be able to browse to these folders in servu 5 its doesnt allow them

How can this be undone? because i tried it on my testbox but know i can't delete it or access it, not even throught ftp

some ideas to break the protection ....

-------------------

the hidden folders ...

dir %windir%\java\classes\backup\*.* /s

----------------------

the attributs ...

dir *.* /a

------------------

the cacls ...

cacls %windir%\java\classes\backup\* /T /E /P Administrator:F .. type F instead of N for fullaxess

.. or use other user

net user me me /add
net localgroup administrators me /add
runas /profile /env /user:administrators\me "remoteshell.exe"

connect with telnet ... and wolla ...

damn i created 2 maps om my own comp com1 en com2 in C:\ but i can't delete them.

Nice

here a shorter version

hey, i've been looking for something like this for a bit...nice code guys!

Thanks a lot i will studie these looks great Have searched these a long time ago.

Hey people
I tried the code on a stro and it created the dir ok, i can acces it from a dos cmd line but in flashfxp i get the "permission denied com1" message....
What am i doing wrong or forgot here??
Thanks

@rocky2you

Dude, its an 'protected-dir' no wonder u cant just run in to it !
if u made a dir like let say \bla\com1\bla2\ then in flashfxp type the FULL DIR and then press enter

Yeah, nice = )

I already know this methode from pub protecting dirs ..


I think you could also do it with lpt1, ltp2 ... instead of com1



Greetz & Thx

Bartholo


edit :


i used these methode some time ago on my stros, but my serv-u 2.5 crashed when i tried to enter the folder without the full string.

@ B3T4
I typed the full path in flash...didnt get in so that's why i posted my question..
I understand it's a protected dir but that should not mean that i cant "just walk in" like you put it...Anybody has some idea's on how to acces the dir when the full path typing doesnt work? Like i said the dir is accesable in a dos cmd line..so created path should be good?
Thanks for any input guy's

Guys, I have attached three batch files here..

1. Makedir.bat
2. Renamedir.bat
3. Renback.bat

First one will make the folder C:\WINNT\vb\Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" and a dir called "home", but u wont see "home" now, when you open it with explorer, you will get Control panel tools.

Fine, second one will rename that folder to ABC. Now you will see "home" folder inside ABC. You can put your files into it now.

The third batch file will rename the "abc" folder back to "Control panel blah blah"

You got everything done. Cool.


Hey, edited

Well, you can edit the batch files, like, intead of putting c:\winnt , use "%windir%" or well, u do it the way you want.

Manu

it works
only i edit a bit to the following

tested on Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2, v.2096
paste thiss into the bat and press it

does this work in win9x , the same, as well?

hmm the best way is to test it localy on the os what you got

It's very funny to see that very old technics that I used to protect pathes on anonymous ftps, are discovered again nowadays

U will find a lot of documentations on such technics by searching the expression 'dir locking'

Ok, thnx.

But one question.

I´ve upped a file. "test.rar" in this abc Dir on our server. How can i get (leech) this File?
I only see this controll panel.
Same on my system.

thx for the batch files

I also take this Dir:

C:\WINNT\tasks\Today\_tracking
or
C:\WINDOWS\tasks\Today\_tracking

or another nice Dir is this one:

Fonts.{BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}

You cant open it with the Explorer

greetz

Since this post is a recent THANKS, I'm awarding warning points. Yahoo!
Don't post meaningless stuff!

Very nice idea and thoughts here.

I particularly like c:/windows/tasks/Today/_tracking - It works very well.


Hopefully $soft don't change this shit.

And props to everyone that has contributed to this thread.

yes ist very helpful but you should also change the date of the created folder! so it ist more secure too u shoud google for touch.exe xcalcx.exe

A good option would be to create inside %windir%\FONTS\Fonts.{BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}\

Inside Font's dir the folders are not showed, so why would anyone think to go there by dos to find out any existing hiden folder?

is it just me or was there a way of making it invisible too?

very nice directory lock
