 * I have my portal website is hosted locally and I have everything setup where 
   users need to login to view the portal. But, FileAway will only show files if
   I add “Everyone” to the Base Directory folder and give read & list folder contents
   permissions which I don’t want to do for security reasons.
 * I have guest redirect on and I’ve created an .htaccess file for every directory
   and added an “Access Denied” index.html page to every folder. Is there a specific
   user/group that I can grant permissions so FileAway will show the files but if
   someone knows the direct path to a file they cannot access it directly?
