Hello,

I am using the Shield module to lock our site from public viewers. It works! Users will need to log into our site in order to view our forms and manuals.

However, attachments can still be seen (such as an employee handbook).

This is not okay of course! What can I do to lock all files from public viewers?

yes, they would have to guess the file path, but still, anything can happen!

So, once the staff login to the site using the Shield module, they will be able to view the files that were uploaded to the private path. How do I upload the files? Can I just use FileZilla and transfer them to a private area or do I have to use a module? Staff will not have a Drupal login - just a Shield login credential.

Thanks!! :)
