Hi i'm a PHP newbie.
I use Apache + PHP as a file server and have another web application server(Windows IIS + asp.net). The file server holds all the files and and my web application server will direct users to the file server to download files. I want to ensure that only authenticated user will be able to access and download files from my file server.
Any guru has experience on this? Can advice my how to handle this? Thanks a million.

You can use php to send the file through the web server. You can do all of your authenticating before the file gets sent.
