Hi,
I was wondering if the 'Resource Bucket" needs to be outside the public_html folder for any reason.
If the file is in the public area then anyone - not just members - can link to and download the files.

I know Apache for example, will list directory contents where there is no index file but what if the file (index) is a html formatted page?
index
Right - but if the file is outside the web root then there's no way to download it unless they go through your script which enforces your rules.
Hi Drew,
Are you saying that if the files are under public_html that any script won't work anyway?
public_html
Cheers
It will work, but wouldn't offer any real protection.
