Access Backup Folder

[andycheeseman]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a dashboard widget plugin that gives certain logged in users access to the backups folder. Currently the htaccess file dictates that everyone is denied. I'm interested in how BackupWordPress achieves the list of backup folder contents given this restriction is in place.

Any help would be great (also apologies if I'm posting in the wrong area, but I only just signed up for github and I'm unsure about how people collaborate on here.

Thanks,
Andy Cheeseman.

The .htaccess only blocks http access to the folder, php still has access.

look in the interface.functions.php file for info on how I display the backups.
