Downloading zip files and securing folders
#1

[eluser]HomersBrain[/eluser]
Guys,

I need a bit of advice regarding securing download folders. I've got my CI powered site running nicely (http://www.cbsnooper.com) but am making various enhancements over the coming months.

Im using DX Auth for the membership system. I'm going to be offering some free stuff to download for the members. The link to download will be available via their dashboard.

I'm wanting to know the best way to secure the download folder so none members can't get at it using google and 'site:www.cbsnooper.com filetype:zip' or whatever. I know I can set up a robots.txt and put an empty index.html file in the folder, but what is the best practice for this sort of thing, so users can't directly access stuff they shouldn't.

Cheers

Mike
