Hi everyone.

I am using Bob.exe v.1.3.3b, which has helped me a lot to keep under control all the wikis I am working on and not lose anything. And the truth is that I am very happy with its operation.
But there is one thing that I don't know if I am doing well or that it cannot be done. I have several wikis, each with its corresponding files folder.
From what I had read in Bob's documentation, the files folders within each wiki are accessible to that wiki, but in my case they are accessible from the other wikis by entering their address.

Example:

1-I have a wiki called Dos, inside it I have a folder called files. In this folder I have the images, documents and music that I use in the Dos wiki. To access these documents I use the following path: /Dos/files/xx.txt
2- I have another wiki called Three. Which also has its corresponding files folder.
3- From wiki Three I can access documents saved in the files folder of wiki Dos and vice versa.

Is there a way to make each wiki's files accessible only from themselves? And if possible, how?

Thank you.

There isn't a way to do this with just Bob. The file server is a simple static file server and doesn't have any knowledge of where the request comes from.
With the secure server set up you can limit access based on authentication levels but at the moment that is all.

Thank you for the clarification, Jed, and for the wonderful program you have done. With Bob.exe I have managed to have all my wikis under control.

I looked into this a bit more and it should be much easier to make it so that the files are available only in one wiki. It should be in the next release.

Glad to read that, Jed. Thank you very much again.
