For example I granted FTP access to somebody, and I use `custom folder` in `plugins`.
But this `somebody` can upload trick-plugin which can helps to get able downloading all entries from SM dirs..

That's very unlikely.
If you don't trust someone don't give them any kind of access.

You can edit the path for database.cfg in the source files and then compile it.

Can we apply this by default in next release? With db folder path in core.cfg
It would be a good..

No, it wouldn't.

Your friend, who apparently cannot be trusted (and therefore should not have any access at all), will simply be looking in this other directory for your configuration, and will still be able to access it.

You are not adding any security by trying to hide something that is still accessible.



^ Just like this door (from asktheadmin.wordpress.com) isn't any good either.

Hint: People will just jump over the very tiny bushes, ...

Source MoD allow access to files over its own root? such as csgo root dir, etc.?

Yes

You're making it harder than it has to be. If you're so worried about untrustworthy people having access to private files, then don't give them any access at all. It's that simple.

Surely, he can.

You can create a new FTP user for your friend.
For all your configs you would like to grant access, you can try replace original file with a symlink pointing to somewhere outside the game folder, where you'll provide full access for that particular new user + user your game is running with. After that, remove "Other groups" read/write access in DACL of your game folder recursively (in some cases, revoke "Groups" access as well).

Actually the same works in a vice versa way. Make full access only for particular files, and make symlinks on user's folder side. Hijacking symlinks make no sense since you blocked any access to your game folder recursively.
