Password Protect PDF directory?

[spenland]

Hi guys, I have a user management script that I'm using to protect some sensitive pages for outside distributors of my companies product. Everything works fine except I can't figure out how to protect PDF's from being seen. I would like to have it so you cannot type in the PDF into the location bar. Is this possible? How do you protect a pdf directory?

hi Spenland

Can you elaborate. Do you want a password for the PDF files(s) online or on local network/PC?

This is going to be live on the internet. So for example is someone went to:

www.mysite/pdf/mypdf.pdf

they would be routed to the login script

www.mysite/login.php

You should be able to use .htaccess to redirect the user to the login and once verified allow access to the directory.
