vlc
When I run vlc like:
vlc -I http
I open up users to browse my whole system directory structure. This is too much.
For example at the page http://localhost:8080/vlm.html I can click Edit on the Input field, then click Browse. On the pop-up I can continue to click '..'.  
I want to open this server up so that I can access it remotely, but I do not want to expose my whole system directory structure.
How can I restrict the browse functionality to a specific sub-tree?
