Try to load your pages using frames & rewrite the status bar with a javascript. Check hotscripts.com.

That would only prevent it from being obvious. Anyone could either view the source or right click and select 'open in new window' to see the location.

To properly hide it you would need to pass a form to a script which then starts the download.

Hope this helps.

Maybe you will need to upload files to your database...

So i can be downloaded from database and not from URL.


Uploading files uses more % processor usage... so you need to be carefull with upload...

Oracle, MSAcces can handle Binary Data... i think other databases to...

wehn files in database you can restrict access, like in other pages using userid values.

I have a similar issue with files and took a different stance. I renamed each file as I uploaded them to something that was not apparently sequential, e.g. 1234 = A2C433 (very simple example - you devise something more complex (33 is a two digit check digit that I make up)).

In this way people have a hard time guessing the file name to download it.

Thanks for answers but is not what I have looking for.

I can't remember where I have see that (hidden URL) but its like this (sorry for my english):

After choosing what you want to download you are redirected to download page.

There you have banners, logo .... and in the middle of the screen you have download button and above him you have one big zero (0%).

After clicking on download button you get window where you want to save file you want to download.

After that you only watch in your browser window and you see how is changed that big zero (0%) in 10%, 15%, 22%, 55%......100% ... DONE (if you close browser window the download is aborted).

And that is it, the file is on your computer.

I have see this method somewhere but I can remember where:(

Is there any solution for this???
Thanks
