Jeff,
A bit of pseudo code for you.
<cfif loggedin IS true>
<cfcontent reset="yes">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="attachment;filename=thefilenamethatyouwanttheusertosee">
<cfcontent file="Yourfilethatisntinyourwebrootincludingthefullpath"
type="putyourmimetypehere">
<cfelse>
<h3>Access denied!</h3>
</cfif>
Put this into a .cfm file and try it out.. Obviously, you need to set
the filenames and mime types correctly.. I use a piece of code like this
for zip files on our server. The getproductquery basically contains the
filename of the file I want to send to the user.
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="attachment;filename=#Trim(getproduct.Filename)#">
<cfcontent
file="#GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())##Trim(getproduct.F
ilename)#" type="application/x-zip-compressed">
Yours
