Yes, then once they are authenticated you can switch them to their own directory. The path to a solution is designing a site layout which differeniates between a local filesystem versus a URL filesystem. Legal issues aside - you only need to write a Apache Basic Authentication script via .htaccess and set the filesystem scripts to that user -- very straight forward. Um, may I ask? how much hard drive space are you allowing them to use? How much band-width does your system have to actually go and "get" these URL resources they wish to save on your host? Plenty of almost free URL fielsystem services on the Internet now -- how is your service different? -Sx- ===== -Sx- seeking employment: http://youve-reached-the.endoftheinternet.org/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
