Portected file from web server

[ym21]

hi all,

 

I have to protect some files from web server. It means that only user login to the system then only can download the file and is not just typing the url like

http://localhost/abc/filename.

 

Please advice and help.

 

Thanks in advacnce

If you are using windows integrated security and the IIS folder is on a NTFS drive you could assign permissions to the files themselves directly (or even better put them in a sub-folder and secure that).

 

Also under .Net you can configure access rules via the web.config to only allow access to certain files or areas to specific users.

 

If you search the forums you should find some samples or failing that just ask again for more specifics.
