Public Download File Folder for PDFs

[jallenrouman]

Basic question: I want to create a folder into which I will place PDFs for public download. Where should I put it for my website's maximum security? The root? A sub-folder? A sub-folder's sub-folder? Thanks in advance!

A public listing of PDFs for download isn't an inherent security risk so it can be in any folder inside of public_html safely. It just comes down to personal preference at that point if you want it in a subdomain (ie pdf.yourdomain.com) or a directory of the primary domain (yourdomain.com/pdf)
