security_asp thread: Restrict a clients access to files on the ASP server.


Message #1 by "Michael Mckenzie" <michael@e...> on Mon, 25 Jun 2001 05:54:35
How do we restrict a clients access to files on the server that they are 
not supposed to see. I have an ASP page which displays files of various 
types (eg. pdf,txt,mdb,doc etc.), and the user is given a list of 
appropriate files to chose from after a database lookup. However, I want 
to prevent the possiblity of the user simply browsing the directory that 
holds those files or even just guessing a file name and typing a URL to a 
file that they are not ment to have access to.

Mike
