Title: How do I prevent specific file from being downloaded
Post by: Big Ian on March 31, 2008, 06:48:29 AM

Hi Gang

I have an issue where I'd like to stop certain files being downloaded by certain users from my web folder.  Now I can detect when the files been requested however how do I get it to redirect to another page instead of downloading the file?

Cheers

Big Ian

If they are selecting the file from a list, then filter the list before displaying it.
If they are typing the file from the browser, then you could intercept that and just call another page and return.
If user = restrictedguy
   DocNotAvailable(p_web)
   Return
end

If it is a page they are getting, then you could put some code like the above in the procedure setup for the restricted page.
