Hey all, Any help on the following would be greatly appreciated. I used Amember's htaccess protection on a variety of folders. I am displaying a link to download the files in the protected folders on the main site that anybody can see. What I want to do is have the user click on a download link to the file and then be prompted for the password. The problem I am running into is that when my php script pulls the location of the file to download the user can click on the link and not be prompted to login. That's when I use the full path that you see when using your FTP client. I can't figure out how to read the file with the path you would use in your web browser properly and still get the login prompt. The best I got was a php 401 error, but that still didn't display any sort of login for the user. I've been searching around and can't figure this out, so any help would be appreciated. I contacted the support desk to try and get my server to use new_rewrite, but I don't know if that would help either. So to clarify here is what I want: - Anybody can view the homepage and see direct links to download a file in a protected directory (the php script I use hides the actual path to the file because I don't want everybody to know where the protected files are stored) - Anybody can click on the direct download links, but they should be prompted for a username/password (currently it will just let anybody download any file). Thanks, Jon
