Lock Folder with ASP.NET

[Chris]

Hi all!

Is it possible to lock a folder and its files with ASP.NET
(-> VB.NET Code)?

for example:
if a user now trys to reach a specific file in a folder
(for example: [url]www.myserver.com/somefolder/somefile.exe[/url]) he
should not be allowed to download it.
i already blocked the user from directory browsing but he
still can download the file if he knows the whole url.
so, is it possible to block users (for example with
ASP.NET) to download a certain file?

THX

NTFS permissions will do this, if you are using Windows Authentication. You
can also manipulate your web.config in the specified folder if you are using
forms authentication to control access.
