Password Protect Folder With Documents On Website
One of my clients asked me to do a login script for their users that would direct them to a secure page which is protected by checking if the user has logged in (session variable).
The secure page has a number of links to some PDF documents but she is concerned that anyone with the absolute link to the PDF would be able to access the documents.
How can we secure the documents from anyone using the absolute url?
The site is on a Windows 2003 server.
I was thinking something along the lines of how music downloads work where you dont actually get the link to the file and instead are directed to it.
Any other ideas??

Is it a way I can protect my documents and images on a webserver without having direct access to administrate the webserver.
When I make an asp page I protect the information pulised on this page easy. But if I link to some images and pdf files on my site, these are not protected. If a person get the url to this image or file thei can easy download it.
One way to protect these files is to store them in a database, but is there another way to protect them.
Can I for example password protect a folder where I can put all my files and images? Here I mean password protect a folder without having direct access to the webserver.

I have a client who wants to password protect a learning course that is set up in modules. Each module needs to have it's own password protection so users can only access them as they progress through the course.
Each user should have their own password (for each module) and, said client would like the password to expire for the user at some (predetermined?) point. Is this possible? It seems like a lot (in terms of setup), but I don't know much about password stuff.
If it is possible, can someone give me an overview of how it works (theoretically) or where to find more specific info on setting something like this up (in ASP.net)
If it isn't possible, can someone suggest what is more reasonable in terms of protecting the modules?

Ok, this is the setup:
I have archived PDFs, but I want to restrict access to them to members only. Right now, my members only site uses a session variable to log in users.
Is there anyway to set it up so that users cannot open the PDFs unless they're logged in???
The problem is the members only site is seperate from the site where the PDFs reside. That is, a user goes to mymagazines.com and searches for sometext, and a list of links pops up with all the relevant matches, mostly PDFs. This entire process, is free for all to use.
But when they actually click on the link to the PDF, I want them to log in to the members only site. Is there any way to do this?

I have a website which contains certain files (ppts, pdfs) in its root directory. By directly giving in the URL in the address bar, anybody can access the files. I want the users to be logged into the website in order to access them.
For example, if the file location is http://abc.com/my.ppt, I would want the user to be redirected to the login page of the website when he/she tries to access this link. If already logged in, the file should download. How can this be done?

I'm more of a LAMP person than an ASP/windows type (I'll be honest I haven't got a clue about ASP). Anyway, I'm looking for a way to password protect a file. Normally under a unix box I would just use .htaccess and .htpasswd to use http authentication but I don't have a clue how I would do such a thing under a windows box.

I have got a password protected page which works OK.
What I need and cannot get to work is a Session Variable,
so that if someone try's to open a page that is
PASSWORD PROTECTED it will redirect user to logon page.
i.e. someone enters correct username AND password,
which open up a page. From this page I want to open
just one other page which is protected. Code:

I have several PDF and MPG files I would like to provide to users to
download via HTTP. I also have a database of user accounts. I would like to
protect the PDF and MPG files so that users cannot "save target as" or "view
source" to directly link to the files.
My first thought is that I would have to remove anonymous access to these
files and/or their parent folder within IIS. I was thinking that I could
then create a Windows account called something like WebUsers and give it
access to that folder. I'm hoping to write some ASP code that authenticates
my users against my own database and, if successful, logs them into IIS via
the WebUsers account (so that all my users share the same account).
My problem is I cannot find an code or method or object to do this. Is there
some simple function that I can use to pass a username, pw, and domain to
IIS to authenticate the user that would then carry through for them to be
able to download non-ASP (PDF, etc.) content?

I have a protected area for a personal portfolio, whereby a client will have login details, and have access this way. Because the work has been done within companies I have to hide this from the general public, due to stupid legal issues.
I have a download directory whereby files are linked. People cannot access the portfolio, however people can type a full path to say the downloads directory and grab a file this way.
Because this is not a managed area as such I am unsure how to disallow such a download or viewing of pdf files without a successful login. Perhaps this is something to do with the host.

I am working on a web site that uses ASP 3.0 with Microsoft SQL Server at the backend. ASP is used to query the database and fetch data and display it on the web page. I am seeking a technique that can protect my ASP pages from being downloaded.
What I mean by this is that when a visitor runs a search query on my site and the results are displayed on the web page with .asp extension I want to restrict the visitors from saving those pages on their hard drvies. Is there a technique to restrict visitors from saving .asp pages, or may be a 3rd party component that does this.

I have created a word template containing logos. I want to be able to open the document and dynamically add data to it and save the file as something else. the problem is when I use the streamobject method it does not work! I can only add data if the file is a notepad (unicode file). Is there any way to do this? I can't find any ttutorials on the web.
Also I know how to write word documents using html and I cant use this method because when I open the document the image will not display. Is there a way to keep the image contained within the document?
If I can get either of the methods above to work that it would have solved my problem!
Or if anyone knows of other ways to creating a word document using logo's and dyanmic data then please let us know.

This function is need for an individual page at a time, & unfortunately I'm still quite new to ASP so I'm not sure if this is possible.

I have a client who needs to be able to upload confidential documents (.doc and PDF) to a "hidden" area within their website so other members of their organization can later view them at their convenience. This area would be restricted by logins and passwords, but it also needs to be secure enough that no outsiders could gain access to these documents if they tried.
I've read on here about placing files in a directory outside of the root directory and then reading them back with a script but I'm wondering if there are other options that would be even more secure than this. Maybe with using some sort of file encryption or something else used in conjunction with files outside the root. I would be open to any 3rd party commercial software if someone has had good experience with it. Does anyone have suggestions to offer?

I have a small ASP application that has no OCXs (so there is nothing for the users to download, etc) and no DLLs (so nothing to register).
Currently, I only allow prospects to demo it online through my server and then they get the files (source code) when they purchase it.
What I would like to be able to do is allow them to trial it on their servers for a limited period, but I don't know how to protect my code from being seen, used (if they don't pay) or copied?
Can you please suggest the possible ways of doing this? I know that you can copy functions into a compiled DLL and then protect the DLL, but then I would have to run an install program to register the DLL, correct?
