Hey there, I am looking for a way to make files protected through coldfusion. I am not talking about a password protected member's area. I know how to do that already. That does not stop somebody from typing the full URL and downloading files. Please advise. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Travis Walters
You need to use <cfheader> to do this... Sorry just rushing out the door, but search on google and you will find.
If you use cfcontent to serve up the files, you can prevent direct downloads by simply obscuring the file locations or storing them outside the webroot.
