We are using WebSpeed 3.1C on NT with Apache on Linux. I want to store monthly reports as .PDF files in folders specific to each client. I can store the folder for a specific client in the db, however, I don't know the best way to guarantee that a client cannot accces another client's folder. I can store the user id and password in the db. How is the best way to handle this? Should I use Apache directory security and if so, can I pass the login info without a user being prompted everytime? Or should I store it in folders on the NT box where WebSpeed is and control the folders taht way? Basically I am trying to trying to move from an ftp server to a webserver where I can run https and make the file transfer secure. Right now, I can access the ftp site and pass in the folder and user id and password. Since I have the user restricted to a particular folder, they cannot access other folders.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Clay
