ASP.Net/VB.Net - Secure Files

hi everyone

I have a ASP.Net website that uses Form Authentication, I have some secure files that need to be outside of the wwwroot, RR has helped me and I got a solution, I have securedocs folder outside the website from where I can send the files to the browser securely, the problem is, there are swf files as well. but when I send the show.html file the swf itself doesn't show on the page because, according to me, it needs to be in a http accessible folder to show.

What I am ultimately trying to do is block someone trying to type in
http://www.domain.co.za/flash1.swf and download the file directly, they have to be logged into the website to access the files.

Any ideas?

Thanks

anyone?

Hey N
May be you can show/give access to those files only when people are logged in.

If they are not logged in, they cant have access to those files.

Mickey, that is what I want to do, but when user knows the direct link to the file, how will it stop him to download it directly?

I was thinking of creating a ASPX page that will fetch the file from a separate folder and display it, when the user logs out, delete all the files from the web accessible area?

Are those files only for download purposes or can user view (on site) them also?

I have zip/pdf/doc files that users can download via a normal aspx file link, these are secure already, ie. when I type http://www.domain.com/file1.zip it wont download.

but I have SWF files that are embedded in a html page, I want the SWF to be secure as well, but when I put them in a non web accessible folder, it doesn't show on the html page

Hmm, i wonder if you can have it both ways

Maybe you can have something in IIS to do this.
But i dont know

Sorry N, cant help you.

cool, thanks for trying M, will find some kind of work around
