Hi,
You may have to use a session based login rather than .htaccess and
get the script to check if the user has a valid session before they log in.
There is a problem with this in Flash because the FileReference
upload method does not always post normal HTTP Headers may not transmit
the session id / cookies, which you could use to check if someone is
logged in. There are workarounds to this if you look for FileReference
upload session or something, which consist of passing the session id
from HTML to Flash as Flash Vars then appending this to the URL of the
file upload script...
I also think that this maybe the same reason that your .htaccess
method is failing - it probably thinks you have a different session when
you post from Flash.
Not 100%, but have a look at that.

Hi
I'm having a problem with a Flash back-end application... I've seen
this mentioned before but couldn't find a solution anywhere!
My SWF calls a PHP upload script is in a .htaccess protected
directory. Windows machines prompt for the directory username &
password when I try and upload anything (which is a bit of a pain in
the ass, but works). On my Mac however, this prompt doesn't appear and
the upload fails.
Is there any way to get around this prompt without comprimising the
security of the upload script (which can't be in a public folder for
obvious reasons).
Cheers,
Steven
