We have a download page that requires a log-in to download the files. What I need to know, is there a way we can use some script to keep people from downloading the file directly if they just happen to guess the direct path to it.
Let's assume we have our files in a subfolder called "downloads" and the file is called "gaming_software.zip". To go through the website they have to create a membership, but lets say they type in http://www.mydomain.com/downloads/gaming_software.zip and the file starts the download. Basically bypassing having to sign up for an account. Is there a script I can put in this subfolder that won't allow a direct download like that?
Any help would be appreciated
[SOLVED] Stop direct downloads
