OK, I am asking this question here as everyone here seems to be the brightest of the groups I belong to.:D

I have the following site that needs to have a password protection for downloads.

http://www.oyap.ca

The reason for this is as follows.

The above mentioned site is a Youth Apprenticeship Program for various trades. One of the co-op groups is a nuclear power plant. They don’t want just anyone to e-mail for a co-op placement. They want teachers to do the leg work screen them out and get “I guess the brightest” of the group only to download the forms…

Then they will fill them out and send in. I personally thing the students will be able to make copies and give to friends etc, but this is what they want.

Also is it possible to have an auto generating password that OYAP can create, mail to the teacher and after it is used it expires?

I have not had to do any sites as of yet with password protection for such causes. If anyone has any ideas or would like to help me on this issue…PM me and we can also discuss what it would cost.

Thanks in advance and look forward to some replies.:cool:

Depending on your needs, you could try DocMan. Some of the security features are :

• Access control: Documents can be assigned to specific user or to custom groups of users
• Download counter and log. You can display a download counter per document and all the downloads can be logged (by user, IP, browser, date and hour);
• Anti-leech system. The built-in anti-leech system avoids direct linking to documents;
• Path protection. Real paths to documents are never displayed to users;
