I have an app that lets people register as members. When one opens an account, a new subdirectory in the app directory is being opened.

somthing like myapp/user_01, myapp/user_02, myapp/user_03....

My question is how do I prevent from user 01 accessing the files of user 02, by browsing to a place like: ../user_02/resume.doc

But I want to let him access files that are outside of the user directories, like login.jsp...

Thank you for your help

A filter would do it.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
