I want seucre my doenload area a little bit more. This moment everyone can doenload out of a directory even when they are not logged in. How can I secure a directory where only on registerde users or a specifig group can download.

I supposee .htaccess will help, but please what do I have to put in?

Thanks in advance,

Perry

don't let guests in the download area by going to groups.

I understand, but I want only some of the downloads not accessed by soms groups, further, when the download link is known by the user, everyone can access the link!

SO what's the way to keep the directory secure, even when they are not logged in?

If you are using Apache and you have access to the servers config file, you can use the Directory access part of the config file to secure your site. (Sorry my Apache lingo isnt up to snuff)


AllowOverride None
Options None
Order deny,allow
Allow from http://www.testsite.com testsite
#
# "d:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.


This will allow you to secure those directories. The only drawback is the fact that you have to have access to the server or contact your host to make the change for you.
