JonnoTheDev Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Store the mp3s outside your web document root so they are non-accessible. The only way a user can download the file is via your websites own download script.

Stephen68 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Store it outside where you keep your HTML and scripts... Some hosts it would be outside your public_www directory.

JonnoTheDev Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 If this is your hosting environment i.e: /public_ftp/ /public_html/ /cgi-bin/ Then your web files are located in /public_html/ and are all accessible publically. This is where you do not want to store your mp3 files or users can just use http://www.yourdomain.com/mp3/xyz.mp3 as an example. If you do the following: /public_ftp/ /public_html/ /cgi-bin/ /mp3/ Then users cannot access this directory publically. If the mp3 files are for download then you can write a download script on your website that grabs the file from outside of your website document root.
