Am I missing something??

I was under the impression that when using Front End File Management uploads the users had to be logged in, in order to see the files. Under "Categories" I have set the "Authorized FEU Groups" as needed.

Yes, the files will only show up on the page if the user is logged in. But, if the user happens to know the " [origfile_url] " they can easily access the file without being logged in? Is there a way around that? I only want the file to be view-able if the user is logged in.

- Thanks again!

No. AFAIK what you describe is the designed behaviour.

Alright, So ive added a .htaccess file to the directory which will now prevent outside people from accessing the files with a direct url.

Here is the .htaccess file I used:

Code: Select all

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

- Is there a way the logged in users can "open" the files in the browser rather than having to download it first?

I thought that was file-type and browser dependant, e.g. my Chrome opens PDF documents in the browser window.
