| When uploading a form....does the "results page" (either cvs or htm, etc.)
have to be in the "_private " directory?
It seem that FPSE doesn't like to have any file that are read write inthe
root directory....any help?

| Hi Marc,
The _private folder is intended to be just that, private, as a means of
protecting the users input. I would recommend storing your results there.

| The _private directory isolates what is read/write. If you grant your root
directory with read write, lots of possible problems could happen as it
opens you up more to hackers and attacks. Keeping the files and directories
that are write enabled into isolated folders helps protect you and your
collected data.
Hope this helps,
