Hello! I have a serious security issue. Suppose my site URL is http://www.abc.com Now I have a secure admin panel folder xyz in it and ant this folder contains a subfolder where I storing the uploaded .pdf files and only after providing a valid username & password one can download these pdfs. But if user types the direct URL in browser http://www.abc.com/xyz/pdfFolder/filename.pdf Then he easily access that pdf without any authentication. Please help me. I had searched a lot on it but don’t find any solution. Everywhere I found .htaccess file as a solution but if I do that then I wont b able to download that file even after authentication, it says a corrupted pdf file. Its Really very urgent! Thanks for any help
