• How to disable the File Upload/Download exploit

Wouldn't making your Addons, Gamemodes and Lua/Autorun folders "read only" (along with all files/folders inside) prevent people uploading to them?
No, it would prevent those current files that are in there from being overridden, just turn off uploading and downloading. It's really easy.

EDIT again: Nah, I have them both set to 0, and people can still upload, which technically isnt possible?

With the downloadurl method, is it neccessary to do all the "resource.AddFile" for each and ever file clients need? On my RP there is a lot.
Yep.
Oh my god. Well I did about 1200 entries yesterday, and it likes to download them everytime I join :/ And it also doesn't like to work with maps. When I first started servers, I sort of remember a sv_allowmapdownload? I will need all the lua files from DarkRp also, right? Or can I just get the addentites.lua, and the shared.lua?
You don't resource.AddFile() maps unless you REALLY want to. (Should only be for like a Lobby server or something) Make sure to remove capitals out of filenames also. You just need the cache files, read this too. [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Setting_up_sv_downloadurl[/url]
[QUOTE=Bounty_Bam;18799686]Well I did about 1200 entries yesterday, and it likes to download them everytime I join :/[/QUOTE] This, and files not executing on clients, can be caused by not having the server's dua cache in cache/dua uploaded to the downloadurl as well.
Good Good, Now the "Mingebag Army" Won't dominate any more servers...
Why was this moved to the Server Hosting forum? It's kind of more plausible in the Garry's Mod Discussion forum, on top of that the Server Hosting forum does not get as many views.
I guess as it's a fix for servers, they see it relational to server hosting. But I agree, it should be left in the GMGD.
