I'm trying to protect files so only certain groups can access them, if I put a link in a forum where only certain groups can login and download the file this seems to work however if they send the link to the download to anybody then the file becomes compromised.
I would like to only let certain users download the file, how can I make the file inaccessible to everyone else?
Is there a plugin for this or should I write a small php script to check the user group and then let them download if they are in the required group, if so how would I go about doing this.
Thanks a lot and I apologize for my n00b question.
