Let's suppose your host do have a setup like this, when you do an ftp:
/ < your root, you cannot go to parent folder
/public_html < the docroot folder
no you create a 'cakeapps' folder and a 'cake' folder
/
/public_html
/cakeapps
/cake
now, you copy your whole app folder to /cakeapps
and the original 'cake' folder to the /cake
the *contents* of the webroot folder go inside /public_html
/
/public_html (index.php , /js, /css , etc)
/cakeapps (/app)
/cake (/cake , /docs , /vendors)
now the 'complicated' part:
open '/public_html/index.php' and edit the following paths to
something like this:
define('ROOT', '/cakeapps');
define('APP_DIR', 'jcl_clients');
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', '/cake');
And that's it. Users will NOT have direct access to any of your
application archives, nor cake files, therefore it's harder to exploit
some security problem (with cake, apache/IIS or OS)
I hope so :)
