I have mistakenly defined the ocs-files in web accessible folder /var/www/ocs-files.
I just realized this when a friend of mine reported to me that he can see all the files from the web browser.
Could you please help me how to redefine the location of the ocs-files and relocate it to a local folder (not www folder).
Regards, waluyo

mcrider (thank you) has suggested to move the folder to a non web readable spot and change the path in config.inc.php
Since I am not an expert system administrator (just learn things recently), to avoid moving wrong folder, I just copied to the folder what I want, then changed
in config.inc.php
I tested to create a folder from Conference manager > File browser
It created in the new folder, also uploaded papers go to the new folder. All ok now.
Thank you PKP support and developer team.
