    <p>I have separate domains pointing to separate document roots on a dedicated box</p> <p>I want to grant FTP access to a subfolder ftp-upload below this document root.</p> <p>The proper FTP configuration is not part of this question</p> <p>If a granted person uploads a file to document_root/ftp-upload, this file should be accessible via domain.com/file rather than domain.com/ftp-upload/file</p> <p>The .htaccess file is in the document root</p> <p>I've tried a few things but they don't seem to work.</p> <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / ## check if the file exists in subfolder ## ...and if found, stop and display it RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/ftp-upload/$1 -f [OR] RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/ftp-upload/$1 -d RewriteCond $1 !^$ RewriteRule (.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/ftp-upload/$1 [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css|assets|ftp-upload) RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've also tried </p> <pre><code>RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/ftp-upload/${REQUEST_FILENAME} -f </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/ftp-upload%{REQUEST_URI} -f </code></pre> <p>It's a work in progress so this will not be the final solution, but this feature is being requested a lot. And I would rather not give them access to the document root if possible.</p> <p>UPDATE: It looks like the thing DOES work, when it wants...</p> <p>If I type in domain.com/test.txt (which exists in the ftp-upload directory only) the request goes to domain.com/index.php/test.txt and I am served the homepage</p> <p>If I type in domain.com/ftp-upload/ I get a directory listing including test.txt</p> <p>If I click on test.txt I get the file contents (which is "it works!"). If I then type in domain.com/test.txt I get the file contents displayed again...</p> <p>My head exploded... any ideas?</p> <p>SOLVED another way answers here did not work on my server.</p> <p>The CMS I built now has another user group 'SEO Optimization' and an upload section. Under that section the user can select which of his assigned locations they want to upload the file to. The website index.php (controller/router) will serve the requested file if it exists in the upload folder. No .htaccess edits as my server was acting funky..</p>

    1. COI'm far from an .htaccess expert and can't say what to change in your given code, but you should have `RewriteEngine On` before any Rewrite* commands. It's only needed once.

    2. COMaybe I'm not fully aware of your needs. How will you access your index.php this way? **Why shall the 3rd party documents being located in document root?** Seems that you should change your applications design

    3. COIt's _very_ unlikely that your rewrite rules would really behave in the non-deterministic way you describe. It seems much more likely that you've forgotten to clear your browser cache after changing your rewrite rules, or possibly that there's a caching proxy between your browser and the server which for some reason has retained stale copies of some of the pages. Broken load balancing on your webhost could also trigger similar symptoms, if some of the servers end up out of sync with the others. Anyway, my first question would be, **can you reproduce the behavior you describe in the update?**

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
