What is the best way to remove the Parent Directory link or limit access to a specific folder in a locally generated HTML code?

Here is a snippet of HTML code.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/style.css" type="text/css">
            <p style="margin-top: 1em"> <font size="6" face="sans-serif"> <marquee> ABC </marquee> </font> </p>

            <a href="C:\Users\abcde\OneDrive\Desktop\Desktop_Ruff\management\scripts"  >Go to downloads page</a>

When viewing this code in my browser, I am only able to access files within the scripts directory. However, if I click on the parent directory button within the HTML file, it allows me to access files from the parent directory as well.

Answer №1

It is impossible for an HTML document to restrict access to specific files on a user's computer.

The only way this could be achieved is by configuring file system permissions at the local admin level, and even then it may not be possible to grant access to a subfolder without also allowing access to its parent folder.

If you were using an HTTP server, the situation would be different; however, since the link provided begins with C:\Users, it is evident that an HTTP server is not being utilized.
