Security for direct typing
Hello Everyone.
Got a quick question, I have downloads page that has files on it that only current clients should have access to. When you access it through the web using our download page you get prompted for your username and password through an .asp page that access a database filled with our client information. This works great.
However, if you direct type to the files, ex: mysite.com/xxxx/filename.file you gain access to these files without have a user name and file.
How do I lock this up?
Thank you very much!

You need to set a cookie so that the user is remembered. no cookie. no access. simple huh?
