Hello all, I really appreciate the hard work you guys have put into the Apache HTTP server. I have a question regarding what I would term as "restricted FTP access" though there may be another term for this. My problem is that I have files that I want to serve my customers on a limited basis. The kind of functionality I am looking for is: 1> Limited number of FTP access for an approved customer. So suppose I have a customer who is approved, I would like to allow let's say three FTP downloads of a particular file to that customer. Then I would like to be able to reset the number of allowed downloads for that customer again sometime in the future. 2> I would also like to secure/restrict/hide from the customer the actual location of the file she is downloading. I would not like the customer to be able to try to download from my Apache FTP server directy by just using the URL that was previously afforded to her. Similarly, I would like to make sure she cannot give the URL to someone else in order to have that person be able to download those files as well. I hope the feature set I am looking for has been explained in clear and concise way. Please let me know if there is a need for more information. I have read about some of the capabilities of the Apache server, but for fear of contaminating my request for information I do not want to mention what I have seen so far. :) I also realize that there might not be a canned solution to this problem, and that I might have to code something to this effect myself. If that is the case any hints as to what Apache functionality I could leverage to achieve this result will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all the hard work you have put into this first class piece of software.
