I've created a document library with asp. Since the documents are accessible as links, they are accessible by directly typing in the path and name on the address bar, bypassing my asp code. I know I can implement windows security on the documents directory to force a challenge/authentication. But then (I assume)I can't give users the ability to change their own passwords or register at a guest level. Any ideas how to secure the document directory? thanks

You could try this:

secure the grid with the links forcing a login action. add code to the login that will do three things if login was correct:

1 copy the requested file to a location
2 redirect the user to that location so download begins
3. after download removes the file from that location

Thanks -

That's an approach I hadn't thought of. It gets the files off the server path. I've already gone ahead with the NT security, but if I try this I'll let you know how it works.
