How to load an FTP server image from the URL?

Question

I have a JSF application in which the images the user uploads are stored in an FTP directory. The simplest way I found to render these images is by placing the FTP URL, with user and password in the image’s SRC:

<img src="ftp://user:[email protected]/foto.jpg"/>

However, leaving this URL with user and password exposed is a security risk, and anyone who gives a F12 in the browser will be able to see this information. How can I hide this information to render the image from the FTP server?

Answer 1

Normally accessing only the "111.11.111.11/photo.jpg" would be enough, if you need permission to read, leave the folder in question with permission 644 in ftp, that so, all groups will have safe access to the file
