No direct access

Hi,

I have a folder named download and the administrator uploads PDF’s within that section. These PDF’s can only be accessed with username password and within the website. Is it possible not to allow people to who write the PDF’s name directly through the address bar not to access the file?

for example the link is: [url]http://www.something.com/download/123.pdf[/url]

I have actually made a file named index.php within the download folder so that people who write [url]http://www.something.com/download/[/url] get redirected to the no access page (is this the right way to do it?)

but still no control on people who actually write the url with the file name.

Thanks alot.

Also in #PHP _↴
