You need to manage files using ASP, link to your files using ASP. Then put your files in somewhere which is not accessible from outside and using direct HTTP access. Then you can security checks, cookie checks, session checks etc. in ASP to prevent unwanted downloads.<br />
You can do that like this:<br />
Response.ClearHeaders();<br />
Response.ClearContent();<br />
<br />
Response.ContentType = &quot;application/anytype&quot;<br />
Response.AddHeader(&quot;Conten<wbr />t-Disposit<wbr />ion&quot;, &quot;attachment; filename=&quot;YourFileNameHere<wbr />.extension<wbr />&quot;)<br />
<br />
Then with Response.Write write binary output of file you are trying to let user download.

Security file path

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
