It seems that only with a Java Applet I could do that. Am I wrong?
Why don't you want them to enter their own username and password?
If that's not a critical requirement, and if you're using an Apache Web
server, you should be able to do this just by editing a permissions file in
whatever directories you want to protect. The browser would then prompt for
the username and password automatically, and there is nothing else to do.
Under Windows, I think if their desktoip login name/password matches a
Website user/password, they might not be prompted at all, but I would have
to check that.
Another approach would be to use a script that checked the password in
an internal file, and then passed them the URL to download from a secret
directory on your server. If you didn't want them to bother with a password
the second time, from the same location, you could save the user information
in a cookie.
In either case, they wouldn't need REBOL on their machines. It can all
be handled server side. Entering the username/password at least once seems
simpler than getting people to install REBOL to run one script.
If this is a critical requirement for same reason, another idea might
be to distribute a HTML page with their username and password embedded in a
"click me" hyperlink, which would then send this to a server-side
script (see approach /2).

Hi Rebols,
I'm fighting against the idea of having
to learn Perl or Java just to get this small project:
I'm considering the possibility of
having a script on my web site that could grant permission to some users
to download files according to the rights they have.
The idea is to distribute REBOL.EXE to
the people I want to access my web site so they can login without having
to enter USERNAME & PASSWORD.
All they have to do is to run this
script that probably will have to have their username & password
values inside it and also what files each user can
download.
Since username and password match, the script will
write on user's machine their files.
Is it possible?
Does anyone here would like to make me a
draft of this in REBOL? Some code I could use as a start point, since
I'm a beginner.
Thanks for any help
Happy New Year to you all from
Brazil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
