Protect files and use MVC structure to hand the downloads

[eluser]cristian.tantar[/eluser]
Hy,
I used this method:
On upload, i-ve changed the file name and save it somewhere on server, eg: hidden/folder/
In database, I saved the old name, the new name and location of file.
In controller, you can download the file by simply call: download/[fileid]

You can change to download/[new-random-name] and limit this download by login, etc.
