Disable real file path from being shown

If you want to hide real path to the files you can mask them using connector.php file. Instead of http://localhost/example/path/file.jpg link shown to client, you will get connector.php?cmd=file&target=HASH_TO_FILE_PATH.

The only thing needed to get this is to omit (disable) URL option in connector.php file.

This is a replacement for for the FileURL option in the 1.x (old version).

Example:

<?php
$opts = array(
	'roots' => array(
		array(
			'driver'        => 'LocalFileSystem',   // driver for accessing file system (REQUIRED)
			'path'          => '../files/',         // path to files (REQUIRED)
			// DISABLE 'URL' BY COMMENTING THE FOLLOWING LINE OUT
			// 'URL'        => dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . '/../files/', // URL to files (REQUIRED)
		)
	)
);

.htaccess Option (for advanced users only)

TODO This section must be rewritten to not contain monkey patching of min files

You might find the connector.php?cmd=file&target=HASH_TO_FILE_PATH path a little bit messy for the user. You can clean up the path a little bit by editing your .htaccess file and setting a rewrite URL.

Example .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

# localhost/view/target (Outputs Files)
RewriteRule ^view/([A-Za-z_0-9-]+)$ connector.php?cmd=file&target=$1

NEXT, OPEN elfinder.min.js:

Find:

(h=c.options.url,h=h+(h.indexOf("?")===-1?"?":"&")+(c.oldAPI?"cmd=open&current="+g.phash:"cmd=file")+"&target="+g.hash)

Replace:

(h=h+(("?")===-1?"?":"")+(c.oldAPI?"cmd=open&current="+g.phash:"view/")+g.hash)

Find:

(n,'<a href="'+f.url(u.hash)+'" target="_blank">'+u.name+"</a>"))

Replace:

(n,'<a href="view/'+u.hash+'" target="_blank">'+u.name+"</a>"))

---

With the .htaccess option, users will be able to see the url as localhost.com/view/targethash/ when they open a file, instead of the choppy and complicated connector.php?cmd=file&target=targethash
