Secure the upload folder
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

After installing the extension you have to secure the upload folder. The easiest way to do this is
by coping the supplied .htaccess file to the upload folder:

e.g.
::

  cp typo3conf/ext/filepage/htaccess_for_uploaddir uploads/tx_filepage/.htaccess

(depending on your installation your paths may vary. Of course, you don't need terminal access to
your webserver. You can achieve the same result by sftp, ftp, smb etc.)
