Hey I'm working on an idea that will turn a link like: http://site.com/file.rar into this: http://user:pass@site.com/file.rar Code (markup): But, I don't want the users to be able to see the user : pass bit. I have tried hiding it with TinyURL, but when anyone downloads it Firefox says "Are you sure you want to connect to the site useing this username and password:" So is there a way I can hide the link from the user? Cheers
Impossible. The users browser has to be able to see the username & password in order to be able to use it to access the resource. Jay
Use PHP file download to restrict downloads to certain people (instead of FTP): http://www.awesomephp.com/ Peace,
