Idea: Add possibility to create "security by obscurity" folders on FTP servers

[Daniel-Schroeter]

Currently, we use a third-party service to host all videos for our moodle course. Unfortunately, this leads to the possibility that students can predict URLs for videos that are hidden in moodle. For example:

• https://example.com/solutions/ex-solution-01.mp4 (visible on 2022-10-13, 18:00)
• https://example.com/solutions/ex-solution-02.mp4 (visible on 2022-10-20, 18:00) <- This URL is predictable if a student looks at the first one.

A possible workaround for this could be the generation of URLs that contain some hash or some other string that is not predictable for students, for example:

• https://example.com/solutions/p5o50mm0yoaubpr61kel/ex-solution-01.mp4
• https://example.com/solutions/ymww63o00wrb9c6ncxnd/ex-solution-01.mp4

Otherwise (and this is the real secure solution) one has to upload the videos manually (or with help of this sync tool) every week.
