Do you have .NET on the server? If so, you can use the web.config file
to password protect directories in a very similar way to apache's
.htaccess file. If you don't have it you can download it as a part of
windows update. The web.config file can use a number of sources of data
for a userlist, including datbases, xml, and a list contained within the
file.=20
That said, server.transfer should be workable.

Does that not still mean that the user can actually see the file, the
response.redirect would cause the browser to re-request. I suppose using
server.transfer would be ok but again I want to make it so that it's not
possible to link to the file because one of the reasons we're having to
go down this route is people leaching the files.
