How can I restrict users from downloading files from wamp server?
In other words if I place a file at my www root directory at www\someSecureFolder\file1.pdf when a user goes to “ip address”\someSecureFolder\file1.pdf I don’t want to enable him to download that file unless he is authenticated in some way. How can I achieve that?
You need to password protect that folder using Apache. The easiest way would be through an .htaccess file. Follow this post. Make sure you Apache conf allows for .htaccess files to be read.
