texte = My plan for the htaccess file is to control access to a membership section based on a user database specific to one site. It's my site, and therefore no clients have access to the server itself. The user database gets updated any time anyone joins (a few times a day), and once a day when memberships expire. I figured on writing the file each time these changes happen. I haven't started migrating this particular site to my OSX machine yet, so I don't have an exact game plan right now. That's why I was intrigued by the original posting talking about protecting files by disallowing all access unless called via a [returnraw], because I can easily protect a PAGE via webDNA. It's the images that can be directly accessed that I worry about. The returnraw method would be far easier than controlling an htaccess file, but you said [returnraw] wouldn't work that way? thanks, Terry >From: Jesse Proudman
