Greeting everyone,
I have a strange one here.
I currently have a downloads page that has files on it for registered users. If you go to the website and click on this downloads page it asks you for your user name and password, through an Asp page and access an access database with our clients info in it.
However, if you direct type to the file ex.:
www.mysite.com/xxxxx/filename.file it gives your direct access to the file.
How do I lock that up?
Thanks so much

You can store the files somewhere where nobody would find them, then create a download.asp page, and pass it the name of the file the user is trying to download that redirects to that location. This page would of course check to make sure the user has logged in before redirecting.
