Howdy all,

First of all, let me apologize for the awkward wording of my subject,
but I don't know what the technical term is for what I want to do (I'd
be most appreciative if someone happened to know the right word and
could share that).

Basically, what I'm looking to do is securely serve files to logged in
users, so that they are not getting a direct link to the file.  I can
handle the user management/authentication portion, the part I'm
wondering is how to do the actual "serving" of the file.

I essentially want to place the file somewhere that a user wouldn't
normally be able to access (either because it's beneath the web
directory or in a .htaccess protected folder).  Then I want to use php
to provide that file to the user, if they have the proper credentials.

I know how to do this in php itself, but I'm wondering if there's a
handy plugin or something pre-built in cakephp that would make this
easier?

Thanks!
x.o.
