How can I stop download of individual file?

Hello

I have a web site that I am going to add user security to (using an SQL database to hold validated user information). While I can easily control access to the site with this I need to know how to stop access to an individual file as shown below:

Code:

Hey Nilpo! Please give the "file outside the Web root" tutorial that I don't understand.

LOL.

just put your files outside the website folder then instead of direct link
to the files, use "proxy" ASP file that get file name as input and sends
the file to the browser after it verify the user is authenticated.
