We have a wordpress blog and want to restrict write access to certain folders as I am sick of it been hacked.

Can this be done with Helicon APE ?

Thanks

The probloem we have is the site is being injected with eval code so we need something to stop the current being alterd and this is all new to me as I don't deal with Helicon much, so asking me to choose is like taking a kid into a sweet shop and asking them what they want.

We need to restrict access to the plugins folder to stop code being injected into the plugins.

One clarification: do you need to restrict access for specific IPs or for specific group of users or...?

we need to be able to restrict write access to the following folders/files for everyone, even the hosting customer so if he wants to write anything he will have to remove file then put back when finished.

Plugins
Themes
Upgrades
Uploads

Ok, Let me explain. Helicon Ape is not capable of changing NTFS permissions like Write.
What we can suggest is limit access to the above folders by restricting POST and PUT requests.
The config will be:

<Limit POST PUT>
   Deny from All
</Limit>

This config should be put into the .htaccess files in above folders.
